OK, that means I can post? In that case, I will.

Especially in American English, "as" is seen as very formal, and "like" is used in some cases when the rules dictate "as" should be used. Actually, for standard level of American English, "like" is more common.

Example: You make mistakes LIKE I do. No one loves my cat LIKE I do.

It sounds the right level of formal in American English, in British English it might sound too lax. In these instances, "like" will sooner or later replace "as". Static languages don't exist. Aged expressions seem to sound too serious and too formal in some contexts.

And I'm not sorry for not proofreading. I'm short on sleep and I have ADD.
