As long as we're being pedantic.
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], 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'.
