pezThe word HANG. Please tell me if I'm using it wrongly:
1) To hang a painting | The painting hung on the wall | The painting has been hung
2) To hang up on someone | I hung up on someone | I've hung up on someone
3) To hang a murderer | The murderer was hanged | The murderer has been hanged
4) To hang around for a while | I hung around for a while | I've hung around for a while
And please don't tell me the British and Americans use the word differently. My brain can't cope.
