Hanger vs. hangar

Printer-friendly version

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

A google search of site:bigclosetr.us hanger
shows that we use the word "hanger" as a misspelling for "hangar" more often than we talk about coathangers.
On a site like BigCloset, that's quite a feat.

Please, pay attention, authors and proofreaders.

Spelling

Personally, I don't see you're point. Is their a point? Weather they're is or knot, comments like this make me simile.

My hangar ...

... is full of aeroplanes and some of them are suspended on hangers from the ceiling. So I guess I'm one of Paula's airplane (sic) hangers :)

"Doctor, it hurts every time I get jolted out of a story."

"Take two deep breaths and calm yourself in the morning."

It does give one pause to think about how large an airplane hanger must be. It couldn't be one of those cheap plastic things, either. I suppose Imelda Marcos could have used a clothes hangar.

Paper hanger

Paper hanger, someone who installs wall paper.

"That Paper hanging son of a bitch," as General Patton once refered to him, was Adolph Hitler.

Angela, what Imelda needed most was a lot of shoe trees.
