I don't actually know the answer to this question. But, I see that is not stopping others from answering. I think that the person said that it is a legal thing may be right. Hanged is the past tense of hang and that is all you need to say a person was executed by hanging. Why? because hung is the participle meaning that it is used as an adjective as well as a verb. Note the difference in meanings: Geroge was hanged and George was hung. OK cheap shot that was but halfway through this I realized that i didn'
t know what I was talking about. And, that I would be required to invest much more time and thought in an answer than I have brains to spare at the moment.

i'm 18, so not a confirm, yet I definately wasn't even allowed out that overdue, much less walking around at 13/14. yet while i ultimately did get that freedom at sixteen/17, i've got favorite it lots extra suitable than any of my acquaintances who've continuously been allowed out did. So, not precisely useful what i could say in case you have been my daughter, yet that may not necessary. the substantial element is you will get excitement from your freedom lots extra interior the destiny once you get it, and what got here approximately now won't probably count.

Hang has two forms for the past tense and past participle, hanged and hung. The historically older form hanged is now used exclusively in the sense of causing or putting to death: He was sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead. In the sense of legal execution, hung is also quite common and is standard in all types of speech and writing except in legal documents. When legal execution is not meant, hung has become the more frequent form.

Because hanged means suspend or be suspended by the neck as a capital punishment and hung doesn't.

Hung sounds rude. Well hanged & well hung are totally different, I'm sure you'll agree.

Maybe it's to give them a modicum of dignity in death. When I hear the word "hung" I think of pheasants and pictures, not human beings.
