You may be right. My post just bang started with: "You may have a point. While people with speech impediments obviously don't write like they speak". I considered that at that point, if I used "as", it might be interpreted as "at the same time" or "when". Thusly: People with speech impediments obviously don't write as (when)they speak. Since I'm already having a problem communicating my intent to the sender, I stuck to "like" because I figured it would be clearer all around. Plus the use of 'as' rings a tad pompous here(to me - and it could be my error or ignorance). And if it were read that way by others, it would diminish my point, imo. But thanks for reminding me. I do like to tell it as it is. And maybe Winston's do taste good as a cigarette should. Paul S. Always scary for me to write more than a couple of sentences on a grammar thread. Possibility of error goes up exponentially. -g-
