"Charles K. Scott" wrote When I transcribed the article originally, I put the (sic) in at that point to denote that "a" is incorrect grammar in that sentence. What does the (sic) stand for? I have seen it, and understand what it is trying to do, but never have heard what the root of the meaning is. Always wondered. Thanks for making me look. From UrbanDictionary.com: Square brackets are most commonly used around the word 'sic' (from the Latin 'sicut', meaning 'just as'), to explain the status of an apparent mistake. Generally, sic means the foregoing mistake (or apparent mistake) was made by the writer/speaker I am quoting; I am but the faithful messenger; in fact I never get anything wrong myself. And from reference.com: When found in a French document, (sic) stands for "Sans Intention Comique" (without comic intention) meaning that even if the preceding text could be understood as funny, it was not meant to be (analogous to "no pun intended" in English). |
