- CRConrad 5y agoI neither enjoyed nor suffered an American education. Nor did I have one I was indifferent to. Maybe that's why I'm better at English than you.
- 867-5309 5y agothen where on Earth did you pull that definition for sic from? it's neither on Wiktionary nor in the OED I'm sure you think you're good at a lot of things and are better than everybody else, but the facts will tell a different story back to your hovel, Diplodocus Rex
