Well, maybe they'll think you are Dagestanese, and that English is your second language, in which case you were quite impressive. FOr your ego's sake, I will accept your correction on Ammo's behalf graciously and not mention that according to Harbrace's, informally, hanged and hung are often used interchangeably. Formally, hanged refers to an execution, and hung to objects. AHA! But maybe John had shot himself first and then the dog knocked the chair out from under him out so that he was already dead when he hanged himself, and thus, being inanimate at the moment, was really not hanged but hung. It could have happened that way.

I suspect that you- at whatever abysmal level you think you performed- are still sharper than most of the knives in the drawer, and the listeners were probably impressed with you even if you were not impressed with yourself.
