On Captions

Closed Captioning symbol (Wikipedia)

Listening to hearing people who complain about "captions" on movies and TV shows, you might be better off switching to subtitles - which are for meant for dialogues.

Closed Captions is not that - it's meant to try and relay more information that just text, or dialogue. It attempts to try and fill in more "details" about the sounds occurring in the scene.

Complaining about them existing or being switched on, is ableist at the least. It makes you look and sound like an asshole.

Misheard

Y'know, for the longest time while I was growing up, I thought I was hearing "Crab RACCOON."
