Why is there a [sic] in this passage? For the record, I contacted the author and got the answer. |

Why is there a [sic] in this passage? I don't think that could be it, because the word occurred in an orally delivered sermon, not in a piece of writing. |

Why is there a [sic] in this passage? I wondered if the authors might be making an editorial comment, but they are all professional scholars, and the book is a high school history text, so it seemed unlikely. |

Why is there a [sic] in this passage? The excerpt is from a current textbook, where six highly credentialed academics decided a [sic] was needed, indicating some kind of ENGLISH LANGUAGE mistake in the original passage. I did a bit of googling and asking around, but couldn't determine the error. I thought this site could help, and even find the question interesting. It's apparent that I don't understand the scope of this site, because I certainly don't understand this closing. |

What does “somebody plays things close to the vest” mean? The link is broken. |

Is “Sent from my iPhone” correctly punctuated and capitalized? I don't understand what is wrong with this question. |

Is “Sent from my iPhone” correctly punctuated and capitalized? I think it's no coincidence that all those signs use all-caps. These phrases are not trying to be sentences. Nevertheless, thanks for your answer; I like the term telegraphic. |

“India's army, in numbers, is second only to China's and America's.” Thank you for the answer but I find the Copenhagen example unconvincing because the subject (it) is second to only one port. The sentence in the Economist has India's Army second to two others. |
