3. What does sic mean?

:shrug:

[AmyStrange]

4. sic means

that the way it is spelled is not your fault, but the person whom you are quoting. It is from latin. I think. That's off the top of my head.

For example I could have put (sic) in my Dictionary where I have the "Grassy Noll" entry, because some people actually spell it that way, but it's not the proper spelling, and I'm quirky like that.

Or something like that...

6. Okay, maybe you know this....

I'm in the Pacific Northwest, as you are, and Laura Bush is vacationing here.

I heard this on the car radio and said to my wife, "Whoa, what's Pickles doin' here?"

Her question, as you would expect, was why do you call her 'Pickles'?

Well crap, I DON'T KNOW!

Why do we call her 'Pickles' anyway?

8. There was a whole thread here on it once....

and it goes into the whole theory of how we never saw Buddy's wife on the "Dick Van Dyke Show" so it seemed like the perfect name for Laura Bush, because we never see her. We only hear about her.

But a little flaw in our theory (which was pointed out in the thread) that we actually did see Pickles three times I think on the show.

or something like that...

I have a copy of the thread somewhere but I can't remember where I put it,
