As You Like It: Avoiding “such as†problems. «The strict school insists that “like†is incorrect because the list of problems journalists have includes “whether to introduce this kind of list with ‘like' or ‘such as.'†Thus, these proper students would say, that particular problem is not “like†the problems journalists have difficulty with; it is a problem journalists have difficulty with. »
