After 100 or so posts, I still haven’t seen anyone mention the common Midwestern mess up of “needs fixed” or “needs _______ (insert past tense form of a verb”, instead of saying “needs fixing” or “needs to be fixed.” It drives me crazy to hear it so frequently.
Another thing that bothers me is to hear someone say “could’ve went” instead of “could’ve gone”, especially if that person is a TEACHER! Please, can we get rid of teachers that have poor grammar?
“Could’ve went” is bad enough, but “could of went” is horrible!
