"Myself"

[MattC]

Mike, "like" is actually more appropriate than "as" in my previous post.  The posters previously did not state that I am irritated by mis-spoken cliches.  They expressed their own irritation, and I commented that my feelings have a likeness to theirs.  "Similar" would have been a more prescriptive word choice however, I am two generations into the the American culture where "like" is an acceptable and appropriate synonym for "similar."

Yeah, as if...

Sorry, but in that construction, the proper useage is as because it's being used to indicate correlation with a previous item as a example.

To extend it fully, your sentence could be reworded "For example, as mentioned above...."

But, you're right in that like is now so vernacular in non standard usages that it's become, like, you know, correct!

Mike is right.  "Like" is wrong because it sounds wrong and The Ear of Fistful is the only authority.

None of the above examples comes even close to the level of language butchery that is rap lyrics. The scary part is that the youngsters these days think it is "coo' " to sound like a toothless drunken highschool dropout on dope. It is one of the signs of the cultural bankruptsy produced by decades of leftist-multiculturalist indoctrination.

Language is constantly evolving, and those who cling to the outmoded linguistic strictures promulgated by the writings of dead white males fail to appreciate and benfit from recent, vibrant, diverse additions to the vernacular.

"I'se dun sed my piece, so I be goin' now . . ."

There's a linguistic evolutionary dead end if ever there were one...
