Thanks to Rand for sending this to me. 🙂

I know I’ve mentioned this before, but this quiz came up in conversation because I left the “to be” out of a sentence while talking to Rand the other night. I browsed through the “You know you’re from….when” and found this under “Central PA”:

Your version of the English language contains no form of the verb to be. For example, “the car needs washed” instead of “the car needs to be washed”.

So I come by it naturally. 😉
