That's a real lovely example though, like it's clearly just removing the "to be" from "the car needs to be washed." If they had any idea what they were talking about, they'd have known that the word is "worshed".

Also here's a lifehack for y'all: open quote links in incognito mode to be logged out and not ruin your place in the thread. Learn from my pain.

The way he talks about pidgins and creoles and regional dialects like they're less valid is extremely racist and gross too. As you might say around your neck of the woods, he needs kicked in the dick.

I thought "noun needs verbed" and "do the needful" were from indian british english that came over here through the tech industry. How did hick rear end places like pennsylvania get that?

Convergent evolution is a thing that happens, but that kind of thing happened here long before it did there, although probably for largely the same reasons.

Ariong posted:Yeah, just click the button with the little white rectangle in it beneath the avatar. This works by the way, and every single forum user should know it. You can mark a thread as "unread after this post". Getting to the correct page is still an open problem. The only solution I know of is to hit the back button until you see it in your User Control Panel, observe the count of how many posts you missed, don't click last unread (because it no longer works), then divide the number by 40 and go back that many pages. Then you can use the aforementioned white rectangle button to the left of the post.

Noun needs verbed is a valid construction and is distinct from 'Noun needs to be verbed'. Someone with native proficiency can tell you that while 'The car needs to be washed by Jim' is hunky-dory, 'The car needs washed by Jim' is not. Somebody who knows linguistics blathers on about it here: https://literalminded.wordpress.com/2010/01/29/special-needs/
