I live in PA so I’ve gotten used to split infinitives, but when someone abridges it — for example, “needs fixed” instead of “needs to be fixed” — my soul is afflicted.
Only worse thing is when someone pronounces the indefinite article “a” as a long vowel.
I earned my first dollar as a proofreader at age 12, so maybe I can’t help it and needs pitied not censured.

Do yinz realize that it is only in PA that we refer to our glorious commonwealth as Pee-Aye? Everywhere else, PA mean public address, Palestinian Authority or something else entirely different from Penn's Woods.
