Hi Jamie!
Thanks for explaining [sic]. I have seen that while reading, but never
quite knew what it meant.

That is an appropriate use of brackets by the author in quoting another
work. I can't find my MLA writer's handbook right now but when you quote
another work and you need to grammatically change a word in the quote to
make it fit the tense or make a clarification in the quote, you must put
it in brackets to show you changed the quoted work.
Also [sic] will appear in a quote to show that what you quoted was spelled
wrong or something similar. That way the person reading your paper or work
will know you didn't misquote the work.
