To summarize the results of the English test

Lena doesn't know how to spell dessert, which is pretty damn amazing for somebody who eats it in such quantities. And I don't know how to hang people in past tense. Which is also mildly surprising when I think about it. Because people get hanged (sic!) quite regularly in the literature I tend to read. Of course they also get eviscerated, decapitated, defenestrated, staked, skinned, and quartered. So a mundane hanging might have gotten lost somewhere in there without leaving much of an impression.

Upd. Just to clarify, Lena is not a glutton, she just really likes sweets. But she exercises, so it's ok ;-)

i don't get it. i thought it's "get hanged" in case of hanging (capital punishment, that is:)), as opposed to "I hung up the phone". Is this wrong?

No, it's correct.
