'[sic]' to indicate punctuation errors

manpreet Best Answer 3 years ago

Can [sic] be used to highlight a punctuational error?

In the sentence below, the bracketed sic would obviously denote that the punctuation preceding it was an error — that is, a semicolon should supplant the comma. Has anybody ever seen this usage, and would you support it?

The sun is high, [sic] put on some sunblock.
