BBC radio 4 show "Loose ends " yesterday featured Madeleine Peyroux singing live "Dance me to the end of love".
You can hear the show (for the next week) on
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/comedy/looseends.shtml
This song is the opening track of her album "Careless love".

I had the misfortune to hear that also. "I came upon a butcher, she was butchering a song"(sic).

I just caught that also. The live version she sang on the show is nowhere near as good as the album version. It's a nice album and funnilly enough it was playing in a shop I was in on Saturday afternoon.

Sic? Sic! Sic!
Sic?
Question: What is the proper usage for the term/expression "sic?"
Answer: "Sic" is Latin for "such." It is used, typically in brackets, to indicate that the writer is aware of an error or apparent error.
[Sic]
Question: Should [sic] be used when an accepted — but not preferred — spelling of a word is used in quoted matter, especially when the preferred spelling is used throughout the rest of the document?
Answer: Reserve [sic] for errors. I would not, for instance, use [sic] after each British spelling: "The colours [sic] in catalogue [sic]. . . ." I'd either standardize the spelling silently or leave the original un(re)marked.:

Therere, in view of the last comment of Margaret I understand that P's comment was an error.
Have a nice day folks, I have to run!!
