[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The towels "need washed" or the baby's diaper "needs changed." I understand this is a regionalism but it sounds so uneducated.[/quote] It's a PA thing (central and western, specifically). I agree that it's annoying, though I recently learned that particular construction is based on German grammar rules. Given the influence of German immigrants on PA, that's not surprising. [/quote] Generations later it’s not really an excuse for people who can’t speak German.[/quote] Wow how ignorant can you be. This is literally the definition of a regional dialect.[/quote]
