Just so OP knows

The word SIC comes from the Latin and means THUS, SO, AS SUCH, or JUST AS THAT. It is used in proofreading to indicate that something is being quoted or transcribed verbatim, even though it contains errors, as did the OP's post. SIC is commonly used in editing and in QAing. I am surprised that (1) The OP does not know the difference between YOUR and YOU'RE (and use them correctly) and (2) Obviously does not know the meaning of SIC, either. No matter. She (or he) does not need to worry about learning Latin at this stage; she (or he) would do well to learn basic English grammar (and proofreading skills) first.
