It's a regional thing though, my room mate from mid/western PA didn't use 'to be' either. The thing that really bugged me though, was when she would say "The car needs washed" she would say "warshed".

That sounds right, though. Ugh, in my head, I hate to add "to be."

Etre!

(My grandma used to say feesh for fish.) Definitely some regional differences.
