Usage notes
Sic is frequently used to indicate that an error or apparent error of spelling, grammar, or logic has been quoted faithfully; for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution:
- The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker ...
Sic is often set off from surrounding text by parentheses or brackets, which sometimes enclose additional notes, as:
- 1884, James Grant, Cassell’s old and new Edinburgh, page 99:
- This I may say of her, to which all that saw her will bear record, that her only countenance moved [sic, meaning that its expression alone was touching], although she had not spoken a word […]
Because it is not an abbreviation, it does not require a following period.
