"Sic" is used to indicate, among other things, that the writer recognizes
an incorrect spelling within a quotation he/she is using.  In general, it
is used following any grammatical error, and may also be used to indicate
perverse, i.e., strange, poor, or incorrect logic.  It is always used in
conjunction with a quotation or paraphrase to indicate that the person
using the quotation or making the paraphrase recognizes the existence of
an error in grammar or logic.
