 DC> Nope, "like _that_"!

 ARS> Why "like this" is incorrect? A little strange. Though,
for example,
 ARS> in Polish, there is no "this"... 

"That" implies something that was written above.  "This" implies 
what is about to be written.  

"This" also implies a nearness.  "That", on the other hand, 
means that it further away.  

You often hear, "This one here" and "That one there".  

I hope that helps...
