I understand that.....
...hence my thread!
What would a Cannibal say?
I came up with this as a teenager to remember the difference—he hung the rope but hanged the man.
(bowing, kissing feet, etc.) THANK YOU!!! I wish I had a nickel for every time I’ve wanted to post this.
Of course, now that we’re on the subject: What about “their/there/they’re”, “your/you’re”, and worst of all, “it/its/it’s”. Oh, my...

Its not that your wrong...
On the campus of Ball State University, there is a portrait of the five Ball brothers who founded the school. Beneath the portrait is a small plaque that reads: “Hung by the Balls”.

Or "caramel" not only pronounced "carmel" but actually spelled that way.
Glad you liked Juno. Wonderful movie.

Most end up liking it much more than they expected, and then end up recommending it all over the place. “;^)
