OP I know we have discussed this before but I can't find it using search function.
I want to know why we say a man was hanged instead of he was hung (well sometimes we say he was hung but we ladies are generally talking amongst ourselves out of earshot of of you gents - y'all being sensitive and all about those things)
Can someone point me in the right direction? (still talking about hanged here so don't you be getting any ideas)
