| Jan 15, 2014 at 8:13 | comment | added | WS2 | 'He acted like he didn't know who I am'. For a start it should be 'I was'. But the 'like' sounds a bit sloppy to me. What exactly do you mean by 'prestige dialects of English'? I was brought up as an East Anglian dumpling but I know better than to say 'He drives like crazy'. | |
