I estimate no more that 1% of population even knows what '[sic]' means.

Incidentally, I discovered this article while learning what '[sic]' even means.

"The typical editorial usage of sic is to inform the reader that any errors in a quotation did not arise from editorial errors in the transcription, but are intentionally reproduced as they appear in the original source being quoted", from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sic

Feels good, doesn't it, to be among the 1%?
