Been meaning to ask for a while.....

[ayabrea38]

but having the memory of a .....whatever,I have just remembered.
For those educated among you,please can you tell me what it means when you are reading a quote or something someone has said and the writer puts (sic) after it?
Just one of those things they should of taught me in school.
Thanks
Aya

So now please quote my post using [sic]... :-)

[karenmac60]

YAY! Mark made a mistake!!!! :D

[MarkRae]

I made it deliberately to give Dotty an opportunity to quote it using [sic], Karen, because she's so confused (her word) by its usage - didn't you see my follow-up post...?

[dotty.]

it's the same thing but different

[ayabrea38]

I AM SORRY!!!!!!
Please forgive me,MarkRae,I have obviously angered you
To everyone else,please do not argue,just be thankful I have a spell checker or I would not make ANY sense at all!

[MarkRae]

Dotty, it really isn't...

[MarkRae]

You haven't angered me in the slightest, Aya - I was just curious as to whether you genuinely believed that "would of" / "should of" etc were correct English...

[karenmac60]

Yeah yeah - I believe you Mark ;)

[dotty.]

is too

[ayabrea38]

I am going to eat my meal(too scared to call it dinner or tea)before I cause any more trouble.
Thank you for educating me better than my school did LOL

the only time people worry about the spelling is when you send your completed crossword in :)
