... did this become acceptable language? I've noticed it a lot, not just here, but in many casual reading items. My old boss used to do this as well. Example from a recent post:
I would write it as "some people need to be told", or "some people need telling".
In many phrases where "to be" should be used, it's been dropped from the sentence.
