Alicia, Sorry! I didn't really want a comparison and should have left out what I said...my point was that the critique of Justice seems unfair and was not intended as a comparison.
Tom, there is no 100% alternative to "as if"...I said like, considering uses something along the lines of:
seems like this guacamole's been eaten once already
seems as if this guacamole's been eaten once already
(I think this guacamole smells like shit!)
Anyhow, not the best logic, but it's all I could come up with. I agree that we probably shouldn't overuse the word "like" but I'm not crossing it off my list...
