thus

He might end up belected.

Hell, I'd vote for you to get into a reflected office.

Or selected office, even.

If you're running for unelected office, I'll vote for you.

Whichbe: why not? I'd vote for you.

What's wrong with being pretentious? I'm not running for elected office.

And thus we continue to discuss thus.

My tea is better than your grand instrument! *patting himself on his back with self-congratulatory smugness*

Pardon me, but I'm off to play the grand piano.

"Sic" is the Latin word for "thus." I think "thus" is pretentious. Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to have High Tea with the Archbishop of Canterbury.

viz. is awesome also, but useful only in writing. This is commonplace and ordinary. Thus is not used by everybody, and serves a cool purpose. IMO.

viz. doesn't mean the same thing, though.

n.b. I think thus is a dull word.

I prefer the term, viz., which is a Latin abbreviation for videlicet, as in, clearly, thusly, to wit, etc.

Do you feel the same way about this? Or just thus?

This word is adorable and I love it.

I guess the "boring" part of my list title should be changed to something more appropriately descriptive. They're words that are too dull to list on Wordie, was the thinking. Like articles, or prepositions, or really dull (though now I think about it, they're probably all Anglo-Saxon and therefore really awesomely old) nouns. Or words like homosexuality which for some reason had been orphaned, and someone suggested it was because the word was too boring to list. Yadda yadda. Thus we find ourselves here discussing thus.

Thus we continue to use the word. :-)

I like the thickness of the th- sound at the beginning, a holdover from Old English. :) Niiice.

One of the most useful words in the language.
