'linked with Pompey.........and Charlton!' the words of their site. Admittedly an odd mix on current form but Portsmouth have a rather inflated sense of their own importance given that don't have the Harry factor any more.
[cite]Posted By: Shrew[/cite]I notice we are named as Charlton (sic) , has the (sic) replaced Athletic ?
What does 'sic' actually mean?
Funnily enough it means the mistake in the quote is the fault of the person quoted and not the person writing it. Just a way of journo's showing off there (sic) gramma innit...
A bit pedantic, but the spirit of what people are saying is right. "Sic" is apparently latin for "so" or "thus", and shows that the writer is citing a source directly and accurately and are aware that the quote is either archaic or just plain wrong. My understanding of it, anyway...
