Is it right to say ;'I miss days like this?'
or should we say ; I like days like these

Is it right to say, 'I miss days like this', or should I say, 'I like days like these'?

Both are fine, but they mean different things.

If you're wondering what the difference is, look up miss and like.

Are you talking about one day or more than one?

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

Are you talking about one day or more than one?

That's a good question. I was assuming the poster was talking about both, because I saw this and these. But that's not necessarily true.

 

[abo.omar]

Are you talking about one day or more than one?

Do you mean If I am talking about a day which is repeated in the same way ,we can use This

If I am talking about two days or more which are repeated in the same way ,we can use These.

If you are talking about a day you are experiencing at the time you might say:

I had been looking forward to there being another day like this.

Otherwise you might say:

I miss the warm weather.

Or something like that.

Two things

I am not going to change my opinion because of something on Facebook.

If you are trying to learn English Facebook is not a good place for that. They are very careless.

I detest the practice of putting entire sentences in all caps.

Okay, three things.

The Facebook thing is correct. The words are describing one typical day, and the picture is showing one typical day, so it's correct to say like this.
