[sic]ly

A guy I know writes a modest newsletter about current events and economic trends. He’s new to the game and isn’t the best editor. I was sitting next to him and reading one article (about two paragraphs long) and found five spelling mistakes. The thing I found most interesting, however, was that at the end of the article, he had gone through the trouble of adding “[sic]” to a misspelling in a quote taken from someone else. The irony was so sweet my arm hurt.
