I finished writing my essay about Sam Selvons _"The Lonely Londoners"_ which is written in _creolized English_. The use of creolized English comes with many grammatical as well as spelling errors. Now I am not sure whether to use "sic" after every error (that would be many, many sics) or just put a phrase at the beginning or the end of the essay, which tells exactly that. To me it feels wrong to use 2 sics in each quote on average... I am writing in the MLA-Standard format using LaTeX. I used the search function to find an answer, but I was not able to find an appropriate solution. Looking forward to reading your answers!
