I do say people who “pled” in court, but I grew up hearing lighted the fireplace, grill, fireworks, etc-and also that someone should be “hanged” rather than “hung” for something awful. People around here say both. You seldom hear ahorcado-hanged, but rather colgar-hang/colgado-hung used if you are bilingual-I’ve never used ahorcado, either...
The SoothingDave style book says people are hanged, while objects are hung.
