"As I said" vs. "Like I said"
I was told that saying Like I said isn't grammatically correct although it is used a lot. That we should use As I said instead. Is it true?
난 들었다 Like I said 라는 말이 문법적으로 옳지 않다는 것을 설사 그것이 많이 사용된다 하더라도
그래서 우리는 As I said 를 대신 사용한다 그게 사실인가?

Like I said is much more informal than As I said, but the former isn't ungrammatical. In formal writing you may prefer to use as, but in speech or less formal writing like is fine.
Like I said가 훨씬 더 비공식적이다 As I said 보다
그러나 전자는 비문법적이지 않다
공식적인 작문에서 당신은 as 를 사용하는 것을 선호할지 모른다 그러나 연설 또는 공식 작문에서 like가 좋다
However, in formal writing, you aren't saying; you're writing. So the more likely outcome is something like As I pointed out in Chapter 3, – John Lawler Dec 4 '13 at 16:00
Yes, it's interesting to read "Like I said ..." or "Remember when I said ..." in writing; they always mean "Like I wrote ..." or "Remember when I wrote ..." but few writers actually do this.
Well, part of good writing is taking care not to breach the First Wall and allow the reader to become aware that they're reading symbols off something and not listening to that little voice in their head.
The increasing use of "like" pushing away "as" (expressing comparison) - especially in colloqial language - may be explained with the fact that the function word "as" has too many meanings.
