If someone presents an incoherent, flawed argument which I disagree with but don't have the patience to argue against and I want to mock their stupidy by simply writing "not nesecelery..." - how do I show that I have intentionally mis-spelled "necessarily" and not make people think that i'm the idiot?
As far as I know, [sic] is used during quotation to show the reader that the author is aware of the spelling mistake and is either respectfully conveying an unusual or archaic spelling or just poking fun at the quotee.
In my example though, I am not quoting anybody and I am not trying to mock myself, I just want to say "I know I've spelled this wrong..."
So is "Not nesecelery [sic]" an acceptable sentance?
