What dose [SIC] mean?

Question

sometimes when reading an article or book you will see [sic] in the secentance...what dose that mean

Answer 1

Sic" is sometimes thought to be an abbreviation of "spelling is correct", "same in copy", "spelled incorrectly", "spelling incompetent", "said in context", "stupid in context", or "spelling intentionally changed", it is also Latin for thus. It is used when quoting something verbatim to show that the error is not the fault of the author of the article, but the person who originally said or wrote it. For example:

"The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker..."

The acutal Constitution shows the archaic "chuse" the [sic] is there to show that is how it is printed in the document and that I did not make a mistake when typing.

Answer 2

usually it means- we are quoting directly what the author has said and yes we noticed this is an error such as
" or book you will see sic in the secentance(sic) "


cuz it is sentence

so it means the original author made the error and not the person quoting them

Answer 3

Basically it's used to show that there is an error (usually in spelling) in quoted text.

"What dose (sic) [SIC] mean?" I would use (sic) to indicate you spelled does wrong.

Answer 4

Etymology: Latin, so, thus -- more at SO
: intentionally so written -- used after a printed word or passage to indicate that it is intended exactly as printed or to indicate that it exactly reproduces an original

Answer 5

thus,so,like this(latin),in a text (sic!) means that an incorrect spelling, phrase,statement is an accurate quote and not an accidental typing/editing error

Answer 6

Does!! Not dose! Dose, a unit of measurement used when prescribing medicine.

Answer 7

Answer 8
