How does every lefty write like this and never gets a sic, but any righty forgets an a or misspells a word gets that condescending little (sic) shit?
Other than the capitalization, they quoted her directly without edits. Usually you see [sic] on misspellings where the editor had to make word changes.
You're not wrong on the whole though...
I think you're referring to [Recte]. [sic] is used when no edits are made to the quotation.
I thought sic meant they couldn't understand what thought was being conveyed. Thanks for the correct definition
It's Latin for "thus," which in editing means "we didn't make this typo, it was written like this before and we copied it exactly." [Recte] is for whenever they fix it afterward, in case it was too confusing, essentially meaning "righted" or more modernly "fix'd."
