  • How is that not being a nitpicker? From the MW usage guide.

    The distinction between hanged and hung is not an especially useful one (although a few commentators claim otherwise). It is, however, a simple one and certainly easy to remember. Therein lies its popularity. If you make a point of observing the distinction in your writing, you will not thereby become a better writer, but you will spare yourself the annoyance of being corrected for having done something that is not wrong.

    They were used completely interchangeably for centuries and still are to some extent. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
