HANGED OR HUNG?

Definitions
The verb hang means to fasten or suspend from above--to place something (a poster, for instance) so that it's held up without support from underneath. In a related sense, hang can mean to kill someone by putting a rope around the person's neck, attaching it to something overhead, and then causing the body to drop suddenly.

For centuries, hanged and hung were used interchangeably as the past participle of hang. However, most contemporary usage guides insist that hanged, not hung, should be used when referring to executions: convicted killers are hanged; paintings are hung.
