Possible addition.[edit]

I think there is another (English-language) usage of "like" and "likes" as a noun that is not covered here yet. For instance, when saying "He loves reptilian mascots: snakes, lizards, turtles and the likes", to mean something equivalent to etcetera. I am hesitant to add it straightforwardly because English is not my primary language. --Isacdaavid (talk) 18:53, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think it's "and the like", not "likes". Equinox 18:55, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
