    Ah. English is not my native tongue so I thought hung was the passive form for hang. Sorry, and thanks for correcting me!

      Don’t worry, this is such an obscure language rule that most native-speakers don’t really know it. It’s for the grammar nerds. If you say “hung” in this context, people will know what you mean, but technically, if it’s ever ambiguous, “hanged” is the very specific, very archaic term for execution by hanging.
