sic is "Spelling in Context". (It's actually latin, but that's the mnemonic for the definition). So unless you're quoting something, it really shouldn't be used

- cynwoody 13y agoActually, it's Latin for "thus so", derived from sic erat scriptem, or "thus was it written". Used by a quoter to assure the reader that errors or irregulaties in the quote are indeed the fault of the quotee.
