Drapes are hung. A person is hanged. Dang right!

One of my pet peeves. Most people don't know the proper usage. Of course, you can hang drapes too. Go figure. Ain't English wonderful? Past tense would be "Drapes were hung." "A person was hanged." Drapes are hung. A person is hanged.

<<You would think that a doctor would know the difference between hung and hang. I've pointed it out before: Drapes are hung. A person is hanged.>> So a well endowed male porn star should be said to he hanged? Acording to Dale Robertson there was a difference between being hung by the neck until dead and death by hanging in the Old West.
