This is a wonderful lesson on how to use brackets. Brackets are used 4 ways: to add clarifying words to a quotation, to correct errors within a quotation, to set aside extra facts within parentheses, and to enclose stage directions in play scripts.

For example, when the word "sic" is enclosed by brackets within a quotation or sentence, it means that the word or phrase before it is incorrect or spelled, and it is not a transcription error.

It's exciting to finally understand why [sic] sometimes shows up in documents with misspelled words; the author is trying to reproduce the quote verbatim and not ruin the original copy even though it is wrong.
