i think most know this word (sic)? and it is always in brackets after a word in a sentence, i have no idea what that means

sic is latin for something like "just as this" (i can't be exact because i don't know the exact translation). it's after misspelled or incorrect words to indicate that it is only a copy of what is being quoted, not the correct usage or spelling of the word.
