 In the fall of 1961, a small furor enveloped the literary and journalistic communities in the United States when Merriam-Webster published its "Third New International Dictionary".In the dictionary, the editors refused to condemn the use of "like" as a conjunction, and cited "Winston tastes good like a cigarette should" as an example of popular colloquial use.After publication of "Webster's Third", "The New York Times" called the edition "bolshevik," and the "Chicago Daily News" wrote that the transgression signified "a general decay in values."
