I seem to come across an increasing number of occurrences of the phrase 'how it looks like' (and derivatives). This, to me, sounds very wrong and is starting to annoy me more than I'd like... But since it seems to become more widespread, maybe it's me? (non-native English speaker, btw)
It should be "This is how it looks" or "This is what it looks like". This is British English. Not sure if our American cousins have a different phrase.
I'm actually asking because I don't know, not being a native speaker either. I just picked up the "looks like" idiom and assumed it was en_us considered ok (like "long time no see" or using "egregious" to mean the opposite of the original meaning)
