how it looks like
This phrase drives me crazy.
why?
Valid options are:
- What it looks like
- How it looks
Not:

this is really controversial, but as long as I can understand it, I think it's ok.
Objectively correct take. The goal of communication has been met, anything else is just pedantry.
It's not at all controversial, it's the rules of English grammar.
The "rules" of a language describe how people use the language, but those conventions are subject to constant change because communication is a collaborative art. Some might say it's better to use a semicolon rather than a comma, for example.
Because this should now include an explanation of how it's looking like it does. What is the reason it has that color, and takes that exact form? This was obviously not the point of the post.
