Grammar girl here, this week we're going to revisit an old controversy.

When it's okay to use the word like, and when you should use as instead.

For example, should you say it's as if he's the only teacher who understands we have other

classes?

Or it's like he's the only teacher who understands we have other classes.

Believe it or not, saying like can lead you into a raging Grammar war.

But first, I want to tell you about a cool new product called EVOICE that lets you manage

your phones through email.

You can get started with a free 30-day trial of EVOICE.

It gives you a toll-free or local number so you can take business calls from anywhere

and always sound like you're at the office.

EVOICE also has great features like dial-by-name directory and even transcribes your voicemails

to text.

I hate listening to voicemail and with EVOICE you will never have to listen to voicemail

again.

When I saw a demo of it, I was blown away.

It has a lot of other cool features too, more than I can explain here.

So go to evoice.com and enter the promo code GG for your 30-day free trial so you can

try it and see for yourself.

That's evoice.com and the promo code is GG.

The root of this like versus as controversy is that traditionally like is a preposition

and as is a conjunction.
