<DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span>Re like <I>like</I> - check out, dudes and
dudettes, the use of the verb <I>to go</I> in the sentence "I go all weak
at the knees when I see her". The speaker clearly is in no position to
go anywhere, yet it's an acceptable use of metaphorical language. 'He's
going mad", too, is another example. We use this verb in many many
situations in which <I>to become</I> would be more literal. As
David says, here it seems that mimesis is becoming a more common descriptive
tack. It seems, sadly, that it's just the fear of young persons and
their vulgar corruption of our beautiful and rich tongue which is at work
here.</SPAN></DIV>
