Subject: Re: Hanged vs. hung



At the risk of carrying coals to Newcastle, it's always appropriate to remind

researchers in English usage that the first stop should be:



_Webster's Dictionary of English Usage_. Edited by E. Ward Gilman.

Merriam-Webster, 1989.



For hanged/hung (as for many other items), it has a full page of historical

and contemporary citations and discussion.
