So far, I've been thinking of it as "Source In-Correct," but really I'm guessing it's Latin. What does the Latin word "sic" mean?
On the same subject, we all know what "et cetera" is used for, but what is the literal Latin translation?
Finally, what the heck is "ibid"?

sic means "just as that". Et cetera means "and others of things". Ibid is short for ibidem which means "the same place" in latin. As for it's use it's just like using quotations to mean ditto.
Hope I helped.

I think your first question (what do I mean by "respect") is difficult to answer because there are different types of respect. For example, I could respect somebody by being willing to seek their expertise in a specific subject. Or, I could respect somebody by not hassling them about a point on which I think they are wrong. Or, I could respect somebody's wishes by not actively acting against those wishes, even if I think I acting against them would be morally justified. I think respect is too ambiguous a word that applies in too many cases for it to be given a simple definition. As far as being worthy of respect, I suppose I think everybody is worthy of respect in some way. I'm not entirely sure what criteria I use to determine whether or not somebody is worthy of my respect... I'll think about it some more and if I come up with an answer I'll get back to you. So, in conclusion, my answer to your question is that I can't really answer your question.

sic is Latin for "therefore" or "so". As you know, we use it to acknowledge that what the reader may think is an error is actually part of the quoted passage.

Sic means so or thus ("so written")
etc means "and the rest"
ibid means "same"
