Sorry, as a pedant, ...[sic] = "thus; so"<br /><br />Sorry, as a pedant, I beg to differ.<br /><br />[sic], as everyone knows, means "Look what this ignorant, ill-educated arsehole just wrote - a truly telling indictment of modern education."<br /><br />Redux of the Dead Language in your example: [sic] = "thus; so" merely reinforces societal stereotypical adumbraton of basically incoherent speech patterns being regarded as "educated" or otherwise beyond the reaches of the common proletariat.<br /><br />In other words, if I used the terminology of "thus; so" in ordinary conversaton with a member of the lower classes, I would certainly expect to require the benefits of private medical insurance.Kaboomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05678065310675687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-16613887340860537242011-07-08T19:46:32.528+10:002011-07-08T19:46:32.528+10:00Minicapt, if you want to know where 17 is, he is o...Minicapt, if you want to know where 17 is, he is on Piers Akerman's latest blog on pg 5.Merilynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6723937561506139096.post-58291450845567858782011-07-08T12:52:01.634+10:002011-07-08T12:52:01.634+10:00#68; and it's spelt "tres sec".

Judiciously implemented, it is useful and informative, but as generally used today, it betrays the inadequate educational qualifications of 'lick-spittle commentators' and their tendency to imitate the fashions of their betters.<br /><br />CheersMinicapthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421626155178200181noreply@blogger.com
