I thought exactly the same - to me it definitely sounds accelerated

We need it to introduce the fact that what's being liked is a verb.

It reasonably should be accepted as it is easily understood. I'd include obtain as another possible choice. That said, DL sometimes can be very picky in what it accepts. For instance, "...vid fem" DL only accepts "at five" ant not "by five". In examples that don't present a fixed list of choices, it seems reasonable to accept transactions that get the meaning across. But that's just me.
