sic is generally used to indicate that you are transcribing the original quote verbatim--right down to the misspellings.

For the rest of you, the cat says,

89PL VBH4R NM (sic)

with a really emphatic hiss thrown in (but don't take it personally, she always does that when I throw her on the keyboard).
 
And oh yes---a warm welcome ehynick! Glad to have you! Glad to have anyone else who speaks real, unabbreviated English, matter of fact. Let's hope Dubya don't show. What little he's ever said that I did understand, I didn't like...
 
Ya know, I first read LMAO many years ago and for some reason thought "Laughing Madly At Oxen."

And I've never been able to retain what it actually stands for, so I always read it that way.

I need help!
 
Heh, I thought QFT meant Quit Fucking Talking.

Apparently there aren't as many trolls here as I thought there were.

I reluctantly refer you to post number nine. I do so reluctantly because I like yours much better!

Hehehe...it means Laughing My A$$ Off. Thanks.

It won't stick for longer than five minutes though, then I'll be back to Laughing Madly At Oxen....

I thought QFT was "Quite F***ing True!" for the longest time. I like "Quoted for Truth" but I kinda like mine better.
 
All of this internet shorthand is ridiculous and ambiguous. FTW=fuck the world

QFT=quite fucking true

Spell it out you lazy bastards.
