In response to Re Murder at (The) Oriental (Former FT in China)

I'm far from amused at your English. Hung should be hanged!

Prescriptive grammar says you are correct.
But I believe that people who continue to use 'hanged' are pedantically prescriptive.
As for individuals that insensitively broach grammar issues when the subject is the death of young students, hanging is to good for them.
