Reply to comment by ZekasZ in I'm Sleepy - A minimal design Bedtime Sleep Calculator by Ryuzzaki

Fun fact, the shorthand (sic) is used to mean (I know you might think I made a mistake, but I'm accurately recreating the thing I'm referring to). Like if a court document references a Tweet that has a typo/misspelling or if a proper noun is stylized in a nonstandard way (like in your example), you could insert "(sic)" without quotations to signify to the reader that the "mistakes" were written with intention.

You didn't say anything incorrect, but thought you might find this interesting enough to spend 97 words to help you save 3 sometime in the future.
