In 1980, there was no such English word as hanged. It was hung from the neck until dead. We hung him. He was hung.
Once English as a second language diversity hires were in the news suddenly hanged became a thing. I hate it. You say hanged I think nigger doesn't know English. Engrish is hard .
Herro!

Hanged has been an English word since at least the 15th century.
I'm going to pull up my old printed dictionary in the morning. Too much shit has changed on line.
