Great backronym, way to perpetuate that myth with your prowess. " spelling is correct/ said in context " Not trying to be derogatory.

Sigh. Both the strict translation of "sic" to "thus," and its use to mean "spelling is correct" are correct. Technically, the common use of "sic" is as an abbreviation for the Latin "scriptum in corporum" (which means “written in the body [of the original text]" and makes a great deal more sense than "thus"). So, I must disagree that the loose English translation of "sic" to "spelling is correct" is a backronym.

I prefer sic erat scriptum, thus it was written.

One of the true beauties of acronyms is that they frequently have many meanings (of which, almost all are right!).

I prefer Sic Semper Tyrannis-- Thus Always to Tyrants.

Which proves that one needs to be very careful which "inkwell" they dip their "Pen" in.

The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full: sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")[1] inserted after a quoted word or passage, indicates that the quoted matter has been transcribed exactly as found in the source text, complete with any erroneous or archaic spelling, surprising assertion, faulty reasoning, or other matter that might otherwise be taken as an error of transcription.

The notation's usual purpose is to inform the reader that any errors or apparent errors in quoted material do not arise from errors in the course of the transcription, but are intentionally reproduced, exactly as they appear in the source text. It is generally placed inside brackets to indicate that it is not part of the quoted matter.

Sic may also be used derisively, to call attention to the original writer's spelling mistakes or erroneous logic

Didn't say anything about being wrong twice did I?

That's because you are feeling [sic]?

It is a well-established axiom that two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do...
