另外，無論英國英語中，還是美國英語中，無論是非正式口語中，還是其他語體中，都存在feel like后面接由that引導的從句，意思與feel as if 相同，作“感覺好像……”解的真實例證：

1. BNC（英國國家語料庫http://www.natcorp.ox.ac.uk）和BUY-BNC BRTISH NATIONAL CORPUS (UK,1980s-1993)（Mark Davies, Brigham Young University）http://corpus.byu.edu/bnc/：

(1) You've gone and achieved something, you feel like you've done something good, you feel like you're somebody.

(2) Walk up to the gates and you feel like you have been sandbagged in the stomach.

(3) And the brakes feel like they could stop an express train.

(4) “I felt like I was escaping just to get in,” he reflected after his taxi failed to turn up and he got a lift from a receptionist at his hotel.

(5) But if she feels like she wants extra time I think she ought to allow herself extra time That's right yeah. don't she?

2. Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English（http://www.ldoceonline.com/dictionary）

I felt like I'd really achieved something.

3. BYU: THE OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY(http://corpus.byu/oed/):

1944 I thought that over for a moment and felt like all the morons Allhoff had ever called me when Battersby, who was no Einstein, got it before me.

1964... I still feel like death warmed up.

4. BUY CORPUS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH (1990-2008) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University) http://www.americancorpus.org/：

2008 Because you finally feel like you're free.

2008 But you know I still have this issue today, going to my family's church and telling them that I have it, but then again I feel like I'm going to be shunned once I tell them I have it.

5. TIME CORPUS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH (1923-2006) (Mark Davies, Brigham Young University ) (http://corpus.byu.edu/time):

1931/08/24 I feel like I am in the presence of fiends.

從以上可以看出：早在(筆者注：可能還要早)1944年英國英語中就已經存在feel like后面接由that引導的從句的例證；早在(筆者注：可能還要早)1931年美國英語中就已經存在feel like后面接由that引導的從句的例證，而且至今仍在使用，并突破了非正式口語的限制， 應用于其他語體之中。
