[sic] pedant

I really wish that commenters on blogs would find out what [sic] means.

I'm tired of seeing it used all the time when not quoting someone or something.

sic, usually inside square brackets, means thus; so.

Thus; so. Used to indicate that a quoted passage, especially one containing an error or unconventional spelling, has been retained in its original form or written intentionally.
