Like has been used as a conjunction in ways similar to as since the 14th century. In the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries it was used in serious literature, but not often; in the 17th and 18th centuries it grew more frequent but less literary. It became markedly more frequent in literary use again in the 19th century. By mid-century it was coming under critical fire, but not from grammarians, oddly enough, who were wrangling over whether it could be called a preposition or not. There is no doubt that, after 600 years of use, conjunctive like is firmly established. It has been used by many prestigious literary figures of the past, though perhaps not in their most elevated works; in modern use it may be found in literature, journalism, and scholarly writing. While the present objection to it is perhaps more heated than rational, someone writing in a formal prose style may well prefer to use as, as if, such as, or an entirely different construction instead. as 3 of 9pronoun1 : that, who, which —used after same or such in the same building as my brother… tears such as angels weep …—John Milton and chiefly dialect after a substantive not modified by same or such … that kind of fruit as maids call medlars …—William Shakespeare 2 : a fact that is a foreigner, as is evident from his accent as 4 of 9preposition1 a : like sense 2 They all rose as one man. b : like sense 1a … his face was as a mask which revealed nothing.—Max Beerbohm 2 : in the capacity, character, condition, or role of works as an editor as 5 of 9noun ˈas plural asses ˈa-ˌsēz ˈa-səz 1 a : a bronze coin of the ancient Roman republic b : a unit of value equivalent to an as coin 2 : libra sense 2a As 6 of 9abbreviation (1) altostratus As 7 of 9symbol arsenic AS 8 of 9abbreviation (2)1 after sight 2 airspeed 3 American Samoa 4 Anglo-Saxon 5 antisubmarine 6 associate in science as- 9 of 9prefix see ad- as conjunction1 as in while at or during the time that he slipped as he was walking to his car Synonyms & Similar Words Relevance
