An interesting article here on the use of 'like' for a variety of different functions.

What I find really interesting are the comments below, with a fair selection of self-appointed purists talking about how the English language is being degraded and polluted... ha ha.
As the author says in the blurb for his upcoming book...'everybody likes to think they know something about language.'
