Hi, Skinem! Ski-nem, or Skin-em? I don't find grammar all that sexy, either! But it is a tool in my work. My earlier grammar teachers would be amazed at my pirketiness. Word History - and Dr. Bob's Word Play - are fun. I am, here in Norway, especially interested in the ancient Norron language roots ...

But hey, doesn't anybody care about cor...

Grammar: 'like' and 'as'
Hello, thanks to you out there who did reply. I have been lost a while, and I don't really know how this Alpha Agora works. But it is something to work at, I appreciate this. I read in an old grammar that 'like' connects two things, while 'as' connects two clauses. Fx: This is like that, but 'do it ...

'like' and 'as'
Can somebody tell me if the differentiation of the use of 'like' and 'as' in comparatives is just old-fashioned and out of date in American English?
