| it is the part of speech you're having problems with. 'thus' is an ADVERB,
| 'this' is a PRONOUN. the word in question is the direct object of a
| sentence...which we all know must be either a NOUN or, you guessed it, a
| PRONOUN...
|
| 'thus', i am correct...and 'the code is this.'
btw, the best test when in doubt is to rearrange the sentence using the same
words. of these two, which do you now believe is right?
thus is the code. (indicates a reason for the code's state of being)
this is the code. (states that what is referenced [what you posted] is the
code)
sorry, i'm just a language nut. ;^)
