    Usage notes

    Although thusly'' has diffused into popular usage, it is still widely regarded as incorrect; instead, other equivalent expressions (such as ''thus'' or ''this way'') can be used. It originated in the Eastern U.S., and it is still more common in American than British English; it is "often used for amusement or to make an ironic point."Pam Peters, ''The Cambridge Guide to English Usage (2003).
