The Bloody-minded Poet

[abu nuwas]

I am not so rude, mostly. But it is not an English thing,'thusly'. A bit like saying 'firstly' as an adverb, when mean 'first'. People do say that all the time, here.

i found some irony in your reply to jack but it was funny to see it

thus·ly (sl)
adv. Usage Problem
Thus.
Usage Note: Thusly was introduced in the 19th century as an alternative to thus in sentences such as Hold it thus or He put it thus. It appears to have first been used by humorists, who may have been echoing the speech of poorly educated people straining to sound stylish. The word has subsequently gained some currency in educated usage, but it is still often regarded as incorrect. A large majority of the Usage Panel found it unacceptable in an earlier survey. In formal writing thus can still be used as in the examples above; in other styles this way, like this, and other such expressions are more natural.

The reason people go along with, is that it is not exclusively to do with poetry, writing or crtiticism; it has general application. If you personally, say, secretly rather despised foreign speakers, English in particular, of Tagalog, you would know inwardly that you were right, wouldn't you? Or you might think a much-loved character, we might think of The King, was a real p---k. You would not go about thinking you were wrong. I''m right, aren't I?
