Pls (sic)

In a newspaper report, I saw the following sentence. A church elder was quoted as having written, "Pls (sic) maintain your faith till the last day of your life."

I believe the reporter thought the short form of 'Please' is 'Pl". By putting 'sic' beside 'Pls', I believe he is suggesting that the church elder has made a mistake.

Could somebody let me know if I am correct?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Tanguatlay. I think it is good to condense words down to their simplest form. Difficult to realize when we discover so many things and how so very complicated words get in naming so many things. It does make one wonder why such a short word as please would be shortened. That's a very good word just as it is. I think we are looking for the definition of that very first word anyone spoke; ....................aah. Now that's a word I would like to speak often. That is a "wonder filled and satisfying" word, huh!?
