Makes you feel a bit sic.

I was just clicking through some links and saw this story about a woman who was on a night out and died because she wasn't wearing a coat.

Walking home drunk in the snow is one thing, but I couldn't help feel that whichever grizzled hack wrote the piece was somehow trying to amuse themselves. Someone clearly has a bit of a sic sense of humour:

'Your (sic) one of the Angels now, your (sic) a star shinning (sic) bright in the sky, your (sic) the spirit guide that watches over us and looks after us.'

Clearly if you're writing a quote from a site like Facebook no one expects it to be written in Shakespearean blank verse and the (sic) isn't necessary. Anyway, check it out for yourself. I'm just not convinced the journalist isn't a bit of a twat.
