[sic] denotes that it's a direct quote, in spite of any inaccuracies, spelling errors etc. I was looking for short hand to say "this is not the actual quote". I know the last version, square brackets in a quote, can be used to denote my quote filling in gaps in the original, based on context. But what about saying "this is not what this actually says"? | |
