Meaning?

[kat-kin]

Does anyone know what this means in newspapers..( sic)? Thanks

[Everhelpful]

Miss-spelling,I think.

[237SJ]

It is when something is quoted from a newspaper or statement that includes a spelling error that was in the original text.

[Mamyalynne]

sic1
sɪk/Submit
adverb
used in brackets after a copied or quoted word that appears odd or erroneous to show that the word is quoted exactly as it stands in the original, as in a story must hold a child's interest and ‘enrich his (sic) life’.

[TheWinner]

Yes, it means they have quoted EXACTLY what the person had written, but it contained an obvious spelling mistake.
For example: it might be: your when it should have said you're.

[naomi24]

It means 'as it appears in the original'.

[jeffa]

Yes indeed, from the Latin for "thus". Used when you are quoting something which you know to be incorrect in some way but are showing that you are quoting it verbatim nonetheless, e.g.

"It's easy to right [sic] them off as a one-hit wonder."

[cupid04]

sic - Thus so. Used to indicate a quoted passage, especially one containing
an error or unconventional spelling.

At least I was close.!!

[kat-kin]

Ah I thought it was something to do with spelling but I couldn't think what the IC meant. I read the Mail Online..don't laugh and (sic) usually appears there. Thanks folks:)

it means they're quoting something that looks odd - perhaps a typo or unlikely fact - and they want to make sure you realise that any error is in the original text they're quoting and it's not their fault.

[Mick-the-Miller]

'As reported' - normally a misspelling or mispronounciation but as it appeared in the original source.
