Oh, great gobs.

Can someone else provide a big long grammar rant here so I don't have to? What happened to the "to be" in that phrase? I seem to see this more and more. "My lightbulb needs replaced..." or "The cord needs fixed."

Help the world. Where is Captain Grammar?!??!?!?!?

Done now.

I do that. I tend to write and speak in "shorthand" sometimes. I can put up with poor grammar but bad spelling drives me nuts, especially when spell check is available. I think we all get something wrong from time to time. I know I do.
