Needs Cleaned

Is it proper to say "needs cleaned" or "needs to be cleaned".just curious if teachers educate this type of phrase differently in different States?

I say "in needie of cleanie" or "I feel the need, the need for clean!"

Again? There's a whole big long thread on this somewhere -- it was discussed ad nauseum!

I live in a Western State and people say things like "this car needs fixed" and so on. needs instead of needs to be.I find it odd.Some other terms are "thank you much" and women calling each other "miss_____" Is this handed down from old western speech?I guess because I'm from Michigan (which they say I speak like a Canadien) I'm the "odd one".
