Rapunzel:
Many years ago, a fellow I knew from the Johnstown area stopped me in my tracks by saying, "The lawn needs mowed." I had never heard this abomination before, and have since heard it mainly from natives of the Keystone state. Do you, or does anyone, know if this is a regional dialectical thing.
I will not ask your reaction to the construction itself, unless you want to wax wroth. Or have wroth wax you, as the late G. Marx once said.
