"Horses are hung. Men are hanged."

I don't know what that is, nor why it chose to collapse on Betelgeuse VII.

The past tense of hang in almost all situations is hung. You hung a picture on the wall yesterday, or you hung out at the mall last week. Only use hanged when referring to someone who has been killed by hanging.

Did you downvote me for posting a joke?

It seems like grammar pedantry knows no bounds. I updooted in retaliation. All things must be balanced.

Dirty, partly broken, and yet still up somehow?

Inappropriate for the occasion but quite festive

My Junior year of high school, my English teacher was going over some commonly misused words and got on the subject of "hanged" vs. "hung". She said "When a blanket is clipped to a clothesline to dry, it is hung. When I man is executed by noose, he is hanged. Men are hanged. Men are not hung." My classmate raised his hand and... well, Long story short, my classmate got detention.

Hung, witty, at the very least passing knowledge of history. Promising indeed

Hung like a baby. 10 pounds of danglin' fury.
