200 miles per gallon carburator system. Yours for $1 million. Sounds like a bargain to me. Mmm…so what’s the payback period on that if I travel 5000 miles a year, I wonder?
THIS SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED ABOUT 1939 AND WAS QUITELY [sic] SET ASIDE. FOR SECURITY REASONS WE REMOVED A COUPLE OF ITEMS BEFORE PICTURES, ALSO THIS IS A NEW E-BAY SITE THAT HAS NO FEEDBACK…THIS SYSTEM WILL ALSO ALLOW YOUR ENGINE TO NO LONGER REQUIRE POLLUTION CONVERTER EXHAUST COMPUTER AND HIGH SPARK ELECTRONIC IGNITION.
OK, OK, I’m really gonna have to ask now. What the hell’s with all this “[sic]” business?
Heh! It means that they've mis-pelled something (or mangled their text in some way), but I'm still reporting it verbatim. In other words, not my fault folks. :-)
Ah. I live with students. When they say somethings “sic”, it means its kewl.
They also say things like “droppin’ it”. I get so confused.
Students. Hah!
I hasten to add, *I’m* not a student.
Good. You’re forgiven then. :-)
“sic” is Latin for “thus”.
So in a direct quote that contains spelling or grammatic errors, a journalist or editor may insert [sic] just after the error.
Example: Jerry wrote: “Everytime I go to Los Vegas I loose [sic] a ton of money.”
I used that example because so many bloggers seem to not know the difference between “loose” and “lose”.
