    The grammer sounds incorrect. Sounds like the way northern English people would say something like "ah house wants painting."

    Changing should be changed?

    To add some context:-

    Query
    "Lisa's name has changed to Byrne.
    Can you please update to reflect the change?"

    Response
    "Does she want her email address changing also?"

    That's what I'm up against...
    Liamog is my friend from Leeds.

    His grammar wants sorting..
    Help.

    This is how it should be phrased.

    Does she want her email address changed too?

    Does she also want her email address changed?

    Do you want me to change her email address?
