Re: sic

 "(sic)" is a Latin term used in footnotes or within a quotation to indicate that a mistake, misspelling, or unconventional usage appears in the original source being referenced. It's often used to show that the error is not the result of a transcription error by the person providing the citation, but rather it was present in the original material being cited. 

For example, if you're quoting a source that contains a misspelled word, you might include the word with "(sic)" immediately afterward to indicate that the error is in the original source, and you're not introducing an error in your citation. 

Example: 

Original text: 

"Their going to the party[.]” 

Quoted in your writing: 

"Their [sic] going to the party[.]” 

In this case, you're indicating that you've faithfully reproduced the original text, even though it contains a grammatical error ("Their" instead of "They're"). The "(sic)" lets your readers know that the error is not a mistake on your part. 

This helps maintain accuracy and transparency in scholarly and formal writing by indicating that the quoted material's oddity or mistake is not a result of your own error or misinterpretation.
