still think it's derogatory if <.>you if for some reason you are unable to be politically correct with the language you're writing for instance if you're quoting a source that was nonpolitically correct to start with yeah or you have lack of information to BE politically correct <{><[>then you can put sic after it and it <.>means absolves you essentially it means i know i'm <.>being i know i'm being colloquial or i know i'm being nonpolitically correct but i have to do this <[>i've always <.>thought i'd always i always thought sic you only used when you were quoting someone who'd misdone something before you you <.>can that's voc <.>essentia that is essentially the time to use it but i would NEVER have used it in that other word yes if <.>you if <.>you if you were making some mistake <{><[>and it's <[>who cares if the quote that you're quoting has <{><[>sexist language or whatever in it <[>because because it's SEXIST language <{><[>and you're not supposed <[>because sometimes it's really really vile yeah but it's in a QUOTE i <.>mean they take it to an extreme like in criminology if you refer to <,,> people as MEN right and you don't put sic after it and it's a quote even though they did refer to you know people generally as being men back <{><[>in those days <[>but is it yeah but is it a direct quote in quotes or <{><[>is it you <[>in quotes direct quote in quotes plus you can use it to <,,> if i'm referring also to the twenties for instance and i'm talking about <.>the a certain section of the populace and i use the term MEN yeah but that's YOU using it not yeah so i can put sic then because i'm deliberately using men to show that it <.>was that was the attitude of the time if there's also a quote in QUOTATIONS that contains sexist language it is common practice to put sic after it in brackets often they use it if people have done things like spelt things wrong or used the wrong <,,><&>3 um they have this <.>really i was reading an article the other day that was written <.>by oh presumably some guy um writing into this magazine saying i really really hate the way when new zealanders write in and don't use the CORRECT um <.>stuff grammar and that you keep on putting sic cos ALL through their letters to the editor there were all these sics and um the guy wrote in and sort of said that's really really stupid just cos not everyone um writes the way you do and got <.>really really annoyed about it it was really strange i didn't actually see the POINT myself why is the <.>light the light flashing on that got to the end of the side? <,,> no? the light's flashing because could've been a slow one probably it's just recording or something i don't <{><[>know i've no idea <,,> p e a for those <.>of us who are technically minded none of us <[>oh if it was a dat machine i could help you laughs good voc just cos you're <.>tech technically competent <&>30:00 HA mm i'm also manually dextrous mm totally arrogant too laughs you're showing off for the tape i'm allowed to do that not allowed to do that no laughs when was the last time you <.>l when was the last time you lifted weights <,,><&>4 um he gets an even more cool furrowed brow than you do he does he also becomes very deliberate when he's talking as well if you mean just the basic metal things of the gym um probably what the fuck else would i be talking about laughs well i spent most of yesterday doing press ups oh laughs that's right dion told me the fascist was in fine form mm <{><[>but otherwise otherwise it was about three four weeks ago maybe even a month yeah <[>laughs he <.>was he smashed another window so he took it out on you is what dion said no i don't <{><[>think that was the way it was <[>you what?
