| Mar 27, 2019 at 20:49 | comment | added | Lambie | tel que is also such as. "thus" is used a lot in formal writing. I do French to English for a living but would never do the other way round even though I am also an interpreter. So and thus are not the same register necessarily. And are not always interchangeable. [by the way: that "those" should be "these"] | |

| Mar 27, 2019 at 19:03 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | I wouldn't say either are "old-fashioned" (they're certainly not like, say, hence, whence or thereby, whereby). It's just that in casual contexts today, it's usually much easier / quicker / more "natural" to just use so. | |
