What does this mean?

I think its something to do with when you're editing something to show you've changed it, I'm really not sure though.

Explain, please.

You put it directly after the thing that you realise is wrong I believe.

It's not just for mis-spellings either - you use it for inaccurate information as well etc.

So if I were to quote this passage

"Flowers are rely gay"

Would I put:

"Flowers are rely[sic] gay"

or

"flowers are rely gay"[sic]

You would add something in [brackets]. Not sure about changing a word. Probably best to do a [sic].
