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.
“Some people are like Slinkies - not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.”
