[QUOTE="BarMoo, post: 318593, member: 175089"] I interpret it to mean "stupid but true" either a grammatic mistake or something written that doesn't make sense (but you get the idea of what they mean). Often used in The Guardian newspaper - which is probably where I picked it up. Journos there often insert (sic) into direct quotes of stupid people, like GWBush. I quite often insert a "sic" into my own posts - because I cannot convey what I am trying to say and/or my dislexia gets in the way, LOL (sic). Dyslexia with a 'y' ;) LOL. . [/QUOTE]
Insert quotes…
