I'm Confused! ?

I put in "hanged vs hung" into Google, and this is what I got:

Hanged is the past tense and past participle of hang only when used in the sense of “put to death by hanging.” For example, The traitor was hanged for treason.

I'm with DRUSS. Hanged is how I was taught it was used, and, as he says, hung is for those who's life did not actually end.

Bare in mind is also wrong, it's bear in mind.

Actually, some plurals do have apostrophes. Women's golf team. Men's football. Children's stories.

...and "the guys' room" is also correct if the room belongs to more than one guy.

I believe what he meant to say was that you do not pluralize a word by adding an apostrophe.

But indeed. Irregular plurals can be made possessive by the addition of one, as you have illustrated.

hungdid is also correct.

Of all the things I have learned here (subjects ranging from post mortum lividity, to gunshot/wound matching, to ranking of poisons etc) I now know I can come to DR to learn perfect English grammar...

Does this website have no limits?

If he is "helicoptering" with it then it might be. Just saying.
