One of my employees does the weirdest thing: she almost never says "to be". I thought I was imagining it until just now, when I saw a post-it on a file that reads "Needs Archived".
Now I'm sure that I've also heard "That member needs called." and "My oil needs changed." I'm not sure if she does it with words other than "needs." I can't think of anything at the moment.
Is this some kind of regional anomoly? She's from West Virginia. I've lived all up and down the East Coast and have never heard this.
