Dude, I really wanted to know about the proper usage of [sic]. The implications were interesting, since I wrote (so it was not a 2nd hand quote) the line about "sweet numchucks" as sarcasm, as I was impersonating an editor while quoting myself. Despite my educational handicap, having never minored in English (since I already speak it good) I wanted to know the proper usage.

You've probably disappointed a lot of people by showing a rudimentary conscience here.

Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner". It is used when writing quoted material to indicate that an incorrect or unusual spelling, phrase, punctuation or meaning in the quote has been reproduced verbatim from the original and is not a transcription error. It is normally placed within the quoted material, in square brackets and often italicized – [sic]. Alternatively it can appear after the quote in parentheses (round brackets) – (sic).[1]

It had a long e sound in Latin, meaning that it was pronounced like the English word "seek", /ˈsiːk/; however, has been anglicised to /ˈsɪk/, like the English word "sick".

Google is your friend... Jack I'm not so sure about. :lol::D :D

Wow...I may be guilty of the lamest threadjack ever. We went from guys arguing about swords / clubs / spears to a serious discussion of aforementioned swords...to grammar. Mea culpa, mea culpa mea maxima dork-culpa.

Man, as cool as we are with guns and stuff, imagine how lame the hardcore REAL dorks out there are? Amiright? Fellas?

Because your gun isn't as reliable as my (our) Glock(s)...

I'm amazed it took this long for somebody to notice that - I thought it would be funnier and more obvious than it truly was. Well done, Mike.

I would prefer a spiked club about the same size as a T ball bat. The spikes being about 1" long so they do not get stuck in bone as easily.

Secondary would be a nice quality well balanced knife.

Make the spikes cone-shaped instead of cylindrical and they won't hang up in bone or other solids. :cool:

No guns, crossbows or compound bows. That just cut out three quarters of my home arsenal. Guess I would go for the swords. Next choice would be a baseball bat. That's got me to thinking maybe I need to invest in one of those.

Don't overlook the potential of a good heavy walking stick, like this shillelagh:

Matter of fact, it's not a bad thing to have in addition to a gun.
