NEW! CFCG 3.5! Please sign up again if you want to. Sign up via PM or posting a reply. The Campaign for Correct Grammar (CFCG) is a society within HRWiki which seeks to increase the awareness and use of proper grammar on the forums. The Campaign is not about correcting, but informing. That's the basic principle. I reserve the right to refuse membership to anyone, but I probably won't. Your membership can be revoked at any time.

Well, I've already started my own group for grammar awareness, but with the unfortunate name of the Campaign for Rallying Against Bad Grammar Under Thefreakyblueman's Seeing, or CRABGUTS, not many people joined. Under this light, I have decided to join your group. |

Excuse my almost global ignorance, but what the heck does "[sic]" mean? I guess I'm not with the program. |

[sic] = an unmodified spelling mistake in a document. The term is placed after the infringement. Used a lot in newspapers when copying a document or transcript directly. Eg: My dog lieks [sic] pancakes. |

Eg: My dog lieks [sic] pancakes. It's not just for spelling errors. It can be used for other mistakes as well. |

"Sic" is a Latin word meaning "so, like, thus". Including [sic] in text does mean that "what has just been written is intentionally writen [sic] like that", according to my Latin textbook, meaning that the original writer intentionally or accidentally wrote it that way. That said, sign me up! I'm All About Grammar. Or AAG. I'm also All About Acronyms, or Triple A. |

B: I think Lunar Jesters' point was that the Sparkling man randomly capitalized words in his sentences, e.g. "This is A Sample sentence." First of all, Sentences wasn't supposed to be capitalized. Second of all, up is just an adverb in this sentence, not a prep. It is true, though, that sentences shouldn't end with prepositions. Sign me up, I guess. |
