I am by far an English major, but I feel that I can punctuate and use proper grammar. I found this article on MSNBC How does a journalist have a career using the word 'hanged' instead of 'hung'? Don't we learn the past, present and future tense in grade school?

At least 23 bodies — many of them hanged — were found dumped in parts of Baghdad, police said Wednesday.

You remember what they said about (Ghandi)?

I'll bite - what did they say? And I hope it's a pun, which I always recommend, instead of some serious bit of history of which I am woefully ignorant. [smilie!]

BTW: I've heard "Ghandi" pronounced such that it rhymed with either "blondie" or "candy." The "candy" Ghandi is probably a southern thing...

BTW #2: I first spelled [blue]woefully[/blue] as [blue]whoafully[/blue]- I knew something wasn't right... (hmm, "full of stop" perhaps)

Arrrgh! Here, Don, let me loan you a groan... could have sworn I had some lying around here somewhere.
