Using Multiple Sics in One Quote

If a quote is rife with errors, can a single [sic] be used at the end of the quote rather than after each error?

She wrote, "Your [sic] making me weigh [sic] to [sic] sleepy."

She wrote, "Your making me weigh to sleepy [sic]."


Solution 1:

You should use [sic] after each mistake, in case you introduce a new mistake.

For example, let's say we use the text you've used:

Your making me weigh to sleepy.

If we misspell making,

Your [sic] mkaing me weigh [sic] to [sic] sleepy.

We show that the misspelling was introduced by the quoter.

On the other hand, if we do

Your mkaing me weigh to sleepy [sic].

It attributes the misspelling to the quotee.
