Needs repaired/needs fixed

[AMCRambler]

I'm posting this here because this is where I see it all the time.

If your car has a problem you don't say "it needs repaired". You say "it needs TO BE repaired". How hard is it to type those extra 4 characters? Or "it needs repairing". Do you people actually speak like this? If you do then you sound like a moron. I'm not a grammer nazi, I can tell when people accidentally leave out a word and I don't hound them for it. But for some reason though, on this forum a lot of you will write this. Bugs the crap outta me.

Your english "needs fixed".

i always answer with "mine runs gooder" to see if they catch on. usually they think im being facetious.

i also blame the prob in the Op on old newspaper ads. i used to read them all the time, and "needs repair" was always in there, since you used to pay by the word.

fyi the real reason for this is that often people pay by the line for classifieds. that doesn't apply to online listings though...
