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.

  • 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.

    You don't have a source to back up you either, that source you sited proved nothing whatsoever I could find a source.

  • You asked me questions. So, I answered them. Have I tried to teach you anything in my last couple comments? Nope and now I'm done. You can have the last word. Go for it.

  • You can use both in any text. Neither of us are wrong. But depending on where and when you use it makes one more proper than the other
