(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!? Sic semper doltis Don Chan
