Prints an actual [sic] indicator. Taken from Template:sic. The abbreviation "asic" is for "Actual SIC", like {{acn}} is an abbreviated alias of the {{Actual citation needed}} template.
It can normally take two parameters that are word fragments to obfuscate the text from automated correction systems.
If the template is to be embedded within italicized text ('' quote ''), the way to make it display properly with the brackets non-italicized and the sic italicized is to add a parameter that just has '' in it, or add '' to the last parameter if two are already given, and place '' after the template call.
