Gawker

 

"Nine times out of ten, using 'sic' simply draws attention away from the quote and towards the quoter, and, to this reader's eyes at least, reduces the quoter to a smug, insecure attention-seeker, more interested in advertising their own knowledge than in adding to the sum of the world's. So writers, think twice!—put a sock in sic." [Prospect]
