likear
 v.— «Recientemente se observó en un post del Ángel que Likear es un homógrafo en Tijuana pero eso no posible en Los, Califas pues. En Tijuana se da la variante de Likear (wachar), Likear (de gustar=like) y Likea (likear=gotearse). Pero en Los la pronunciación a likear se apróxima más a la verdadera pronunciación de su raíz, o sea look, lookear se oiría posiblemente así en castellano: /lukear/; Likea, de gustar, se escucharía /laykea/, likea, de gotearse, es la única de las tres variantes que mantiene una pronunciación fiel al español y al inglés.» —“Espanglish & Spanglish” by Julio Sueco de Suecia a Tijuana Mar. 3, 2005.
