Look it up!
I don't understand this. You are sitting behind a computer that's hooked-up to the internet, the greatest repository of knowledge mankind has ever had in its entire history.
Why can't you simply look things up?

Well, I guess I had no time then. (I refuse to admit that any of the other reasons apply.)
P.S. And because I am not lazy, I clicked on your link. You are wicked, Annafan.

And, like all comments added by the copier that were not in the original, sic should actually be set apart using square brackets, not parantheses {sic}: [sic], not (sic).
Unless of course when, like me, you want to take the pedantry to the extreme, by quoting a sentence which has 'sic' between brackets as well as between parentheses in it already, which forces you to use something else - for example braces - to indicate a 'sic' of your own.
It's 'parentheses'.
