Just to say the same thing as everyone else… The writer is letting you know that the mistake in spelling (or grammar) is not his fault but from the original person that is being quoted.

It is latin and it means “thus” “so” or “just as that.” It is used to show incorrect spelling or punctuation, or to show that quoted material is verbatim.
