Native speakers, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's either "how is it", or "what is it like", but not "how is it like".

No offense to OP!

"How is it like" is slightly awkward, but not necessarily wrong.

Is English not your mother tongue? If so I genuinely surprised 😮

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's not, and I don't think my English is that good for a non native 😅

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Honestly mate if it was bad I'd say. I'd never have known. What's your first language?

[–] Blaze@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks! I prefer not to disclose, everything stays public on the Fediverse 😄

Let me guess... you're Klingon?

Your English is better than some of the people i graduated highschool with, and they're monolingual

No worries, just a plain fact.

Some people don't think it be like it is, but it do.
