Posts: 80,670 John is NOT a bad guy in any way, but he needs roasted for this one. If you have to ask which John, you’re a noob. John, get a secretary. Your typing finger must really hurt. ---

Just think if he had written books! We’d have several volumes of his …wait, what has he actually said? Jk, of all the posters who love semantic quibbling, his quibbling is by far the most easily skipped, which makes him alright in my book. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > God. Thank you. For clarity’s sake, I want to note that I am not trying to say that the needs + _past participle_ construction is wrong or bad. But it is associated with Pittsburgh and the surrounding areas. I’m just curious if that’s true for the OP or if they picked it up from someone else. I love seeing regional signifiers in people’s speech, especially in written communication as those often get edited out in favor of a more generic General English. ---

Pro tip: When you’ve given your hamsters enough stimulants that their shit starts audibly humming, you should consider decreasing the dose. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/good-gawd-john-80-000-posts/803080.md?page=2)
