To highlight it's somebody elses fuckup (and show how clever they are themselves)

London / Herts

short for "sic erat scriptum". It's placed to indicate that something quoted has been done so verbatim. Someone might have written elsewhere

"I haven't got nothing to say"

That sentence includes a double negative that the quoter (BBC news, for instance) wouldn't write themselves. So to clarify, they put "sic" in.

It's easier to put two fingers down one's throat or suck on something... Better forget it.

Is this why? Why at the end of a word not a sentence then?

It just highlights an exact quote even where there's an error in what was written. It's a Latin abbreviation, not sure what for though!

I always thought (sic) stood for spelling intentionally crap. I learn something new every day on here.

on the road to nowhere in particular

[sic] is to quote someone who has made a spelling mistake.

Saturday 3pm kick of football thread [sic] would be a prime example.
