Shouldn't it be cannot?
Shouldn't Nesima have put a qestion mark on the final sentence?

Doesn't "question" have a "u" after the "q"?

I think you'll find the correct term is "hanged"!


I'll stop now

Nesima

We all make mistkes in the use of written English, but that doesn't mean people should stop trying.

Text 'short codes/abbreviations' for words belong on mobile phones, if the belong anywhere.

Inappropriate use of 'text speak' is just a personal irritation for me. It is just so ugly !

It is a symptom of the ever increasing march of Chav society we all see in our town centres on Friday and Saturday nights.

The time has come for the silent majority to make a stand, before it is too late.

Could I add the 512mb card to the 256 card in the basic model please? or is that not compatible?

That's ironic - text below taken from Wikipedia....

Grammar

The term "hanging" is the focus of a famous bit of grammatical trivia. Traditionally, the past tense and past participle of the verb "to hang" are "hung" when referring to the abstract idea of hanging things, but "hanged" when referring to an execution or death by hanging.

A useful way of remembering this is the old school saying, "Meat is hung, men are hanged.'

The distinction is not always followed; but in cases where it is not, such as when, in the song "Why Can't the English?" from the musical My Fair Lady, Professor Higgins sings

By rights she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder of the English tongue

the choice often appears to have been made to suit the rhyme and meter. Professor Higgins is a linguist, so there may also be an element of intentional irony in his phrasing.)

I ordered one of these this morning although I don't really have a use for a laptop...I'm sure I'll find it amusing even if I just use it to look up answers quickly while watching Millionaire.
