Daniel said: "I need a (sic) from Dr. Jackson."
New word for Ichaslang Lexicon:
(Sic)ophant: One who feels the need to put a "(sic)" behind an error in a blog comment as a way to ridicule an opponent by pointing out the original writer's mistake.

GJ - But you err in your Human Nature, AC V. The sic is a polite way of saying that the material was copied verbatim, knowing that there was an error in it. Sic only means "thus," far gentler than your caustic "sic-ophant," which is intended to be insulting.
I have to admit having a lot of fun with the technical term, energized by the way it drives some people crazy.
I cannot in good conscience call an immoral, legalistic, Enthusiastic sect by the the pompous name of Church of the Lutheran Confession (sic). Honestly compels me to add sic so that no one is misled by the misleading title.
Likewise, the skunkpatch known as LutherQuest (sic) is famous for being anti-Luther. There may be a quest, but there is no Luther in those discussions, unless an outsider intrudes upon their orgies of self-congratulation.
Don't be bitter, AC V. You are getting a free ride with your anonymous comments. Where else can you get the advantage of 1500 page-reads a day?
