Message: [QUOTE="Tom Anderson, post: 4201624"] In which case the use of 'sic' is dubious. You are not marking something that is wrong, you are marking something that you wouldn't write that way yourself. If you start doing that consistently, i think you will soon find that your square bracket keys have worn out. To be honest, the use of sic in quoted text in a mail or news post at all is dubious. sic is used to indicate that there has been no error in transcription; when it is a machine doing the transcription, it is redundant. tom [/QUOTE]
