This:

>>>> Oh? I thought your previous posts were in English. Damn, I must be better at Latin [sic] than I thought.

Was my own usage of it in the correct form, hence the second sense of sic, "this is how it's supposed to be written" -- not the first sense, pointing out an error. Sheesh, your reading comprehension really is below-third-grade, isn't it? Or is it just that you have the attention span of a gnat on crack? Probably both.

> your life is boring.

Only to the extent that you persist in crashing into it. Please stop that.

> I accept your concession

So, no, you lost again. Now grow up PDQ, or POAD.

wow, your desperation has no limits it seems

thank goodness I never suffered an American "education"

>Only to the extent that you persist in crashing into it

so I'm to blame for you biting off more than you can chew

stubborn little madam aren't we? no thank you

My exasperation has no limits.

So you think I did?

GOTO https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30789267 , the bit about reading comprehension.

There, let's hope the bot stays stuck in that loop.

>My exasperation has no limits

clearly the former

>So you think I did?

that's quite philosophical - do simpletons suffer..?

>There, let's hope the bot stays stuck in that loop

o-kay..

I neither enjoyed nor suffered an American education.

Nor did I have one I was indifferent to.

Maybe that's why I'm better at English than you.

then where on Earth did you pull that definition for sic from? it's neither on Wiktionary nor in the OED

I'm sure you think you're good at a lot of things and are better than everybody else, but the facts will tell a different story
