From the Concise Oxford Dictionary:

    sic (sik) adv. (usu. parenth.) thus used, spelt, etc.,
	(confirming, or calling attention to, form of quoted
	words).  [ L, = so, thus ]

So, dammit, "sic" is Latin for "thus".  Period.  Its English use
is obvious.

Why don't people look in dictionaries before cluttering
up the net with silliness!?
