Hanged, Not Hung

The word hung became very popular in modern english. And it largely replaced that older accepted form, hanged. The difference between hanged and hung once referred to whether or not there was an object in the sentence. So a person is hanged for committing a crime, but a picture is hung on the wall. But even though english did that with hanged and hung, it didn't do that with words like lie and lay and set and sit and rise and raise. All of those pairs behave just like hang once behaved.
