Last night, I sat and watched Peter Jennings talking to Former President Clinton about his new Presidential Library in Arkansas. We always use the CC because otherwise we would have to turn up the television so loud we'd scare the neighbors. (wink) Anyway...President Clinton was talking about some foreign dignitary or leader somewhere (I think in Africa somewhere?) that did away with FEES in their schools...and the CC came across the screen that he did away with THEIVES in their schools.
Um....
I was a bit confused for a while there...until my Dad explained to me that the captioning was incorrect. Thank God for Dad! LOL!
We are constantly finding blunders like this...but it's usually during our local news programming and not as much with the National programs...it sure can lead to confusion though, especially when there's no hearing person around to set you straight. Sometimes you can figure them out on your own...but sometimes they are just WAY off the mark and leave you sitting there saying ...
"huh?"
LOL!
