Uh-huh I think. But you never know they add new words to the dictionary every year!
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 whatseems natural, and to hell with meanings.
I think it's generally hung, but usually hanged as in 'Lord Snazelberry was hanged for treason'
Main Entry: 1divePronunciation: 'dIvFunction: verbInflected Form(s): dived /'dIvd /; or dove /'dOv/; dived also dove; div·ingEtymology: Middle English diven, duven, from Old English dyfan to dip & dufan to dive; akin to Old English dyppan to dip -- more at DIPintransitive verb1 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 dive3 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 verb1 : to thrust into something2 : 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.

Definitely IS in the dictionary.Definately definitely is NOT in the dictionary.....but if you keep spelling it that way, who knows....you may start something.
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?
