The past participle of the verb `to hang to death' is *hanged*. Yes, clothes are hung in a closet, but people are hanged to death (look it up). Yours for correct English usage, -- Marty Shannon UUCP: {alice,rabbit,research}!mjs (rabbit is soon to die. Does this mean alice is pregnant? Yup!) Phone: 201-582-3199
