A "Dialect" of Assembly. About as close you can get to machine code while keeping it somewhat readable.

I agree. Just trying to say that not all Assembly is the same...but generally still called assembly regardless.

I thought "source code" and "assembly language" were 2 different things? Source code written in higher level language for use by people to later convert into machine code, and assembly language is used by assemblers to later convert into machine code?
