You can also use hung that's not wrong

Edited by Aeromatica: 2/6/2015 2:30:13 PMNo it really doesn't he's not clear if he means past tense or present tense so neither are right not wrong.
-
Regardless, a person was hanged or will be hanged. For something that is not a person, it was hung or will be hung. Hung is used wrong so much that it just becomes the norm. That doesn't make it correct
-
Hung is just the past tense of hang hanged is present tense. It could be either one sense he didn't really clarify if it would be present tense or past tense.
-
If you're talking about an execution, like he is asking, then you would use hanged. They are interchangeable but in this situation hung isn't really right
-
This situation is interchangeable if he was hung it would be past, "I can't believe they hung him" hanged is present tense "they just hanged him" if you were to use hanged in past tense then you'd be wrong.
-
Hung is the proper term.
-
You're wrong
-
I was wrong in that tense both are proper terms which of course that means you're wrong to.
-
No, dude is right. You're wrong. It's like saying, "I braked before I hit him." It doesn't sound right, but it is.
-
Hung is past tense and its right, if you say hanged in past tense that's wrong.
-
No dude, you're not getting it. Hanged when used as an execution form is not the same as hanging a picture or whatever. Not sure how else to explain it to you.
-
I know what I'm talking about its the same way depending on what tense you use.
-
You can go on thinking that, that's fine, but it's not the same.
-
If I can go on thinking the truth what Is the pint of your reply? If that's the case why not just drop it? Obviously you still wanted to convince me.
-
I did drop it with my last comment. You're wrong, but don't get it. So, what IS the point? I was mostly just trying to back the other person who is correct.
-
But you just commented again so you did not drop it, you do still care about getting the point across tho it may be wrong.
-
You're still wrong. You really can't use hung seem you talk about a persons death by hanging. Past/present tense is still the same. "Someone will be hanged" and "someone was hanged." People are never hung. It just doesn't work that way. Welcome to the English language.
-
It works that way you just don't wanna except the fact that your "correction was pointless due to that it could go either way hung is just the past tense a and yes you could say hanged in past tense but it isn't correct, it's improper.
-
I will not "accept" that because it's not right. There is no source that will prove your argument. Just illiterate people who might try to back you.

Edited by Aeromatica: 2/6/2015 3:50:58 PMYou don't have a source to back up you either, that source you sited proved nothing whatsoever I could find a source.

How about Webster? That seems like a pretty good source.
