No. DOVE. Into water. Took me about 15 mins. standing at it
communing with the wind, to reach the point where I could
though.

I just don't trust bungie jumping. Probably couldn't manage parachuting
either though, as one has a limited window to jump.

Geeze, I spent years training myself about lit,
and I'm still not sure if hung is ever appropriate
(as past tense). I do believe I'll just go with what
seems natural, and to hell with meanings.  :laugh:

Yeah of course. Keep on Dovin'!
I think it's generally hung, but usually hanged as in 'Lord Snazelberry was hanged for treason'  :P

Pretty much how I use it, but always wonder if I hanged or hung the picture.

And if it was treacherous.

Then again, from Merriam-Webster:

Quote
Main Entry: 1dive
Pronunciation: 'dIv
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): dived /'dIvd /; or dove /'dOv/; dived also dove; div·ing
Etymology: Middle English diven, duven, from Old English dyfan to dip & dufan to dive; akin to Old English dyppan to dip -- more at DIP
intransitive verb
1 a : to plunge into water intentionally and especially headfirst; also : to execute a dive b : SUBMERGE <the submarine dived>
2 a : to come or drop down precipitously : PLUNGE <the temperature is diving> b : to plunge one's hand into something c of an airplane : to descend in a dive
3 a : to plunge into some matter or activity <she dove into her studies> b : to plunge or dash for some place <diving for cover>; also : to lunge especially in order to seize something <dove for the ball>
transitive verb
1 : to thrust into something
2 : to cause to dive <dive a submarine>
usage Dive, which was originally a weak verb, developed a past tense dove, probably by analogy with verbs like drive, drove. Dove exists in some British dialects and has become the standard past tense especially in speech in some parts of Canada. In the United States dived and dove are both widespread in speech as past tense and past participle, with dove less common than dived in the south Midland area, and dived less common than dove in the Northern and north Midland areas. In writing, the past tense dived is usual in British English and somewhat more common in American English. Dove seems relatively rare as a past participle in writing.

So, I guess that I was ok in using it.

Thats cool. Didnt know that. I learned a new word today.

'I hung the picture' seems a bit easier on the tongue than 'I hanged the picture'.

Treacherous as opposed to what?
