TV subtitle writers who work on live programmes sometimes get words wrong. For example this is what a man who was sitting very still watching a badger was written as saying, "It seems totally owe blifiousto my presence".

Damn pet insurers are putting up the monthly premium on Bob from £20.83 to £32.73!! Near enough £12 increase! £12!!!!

Been online for a few hours finding cheaper ones, which I have, both for Bob and Ebby (before the premium for hers is increased). Going to spend some time deciding on which one, it's tricky.

[nitpick]They have closed caption newsfeed at lunch at work, and clearly these captions are not written by a literate person. And neither are the crawls across the bottom; there are more and more typos.[/nitpick]

I agree I was thinking the same thing when I read Chris' post. I must admit sometimes I will put on the closed captioning of the news just for a laugh.

Watching Canadian Idol tonight I discovered that Tom Jones is from the UK. All these years and I never knew that.

Tom Jones is actually Welsh, from a mining family (I think he was a miner too, for a bit!)

RE: the closed captioning - that is done by a type of speech-to-text recognition software. Computer examples are Dragon Dictate, ViaVoice (Mac), etc.

So the program just spells out what it "hears"....lol

Yesterday I got back in touch with a cousin of mine that I had grown distant from. Today, my face still hurts from laughing so much and I can't comprehend how we ended up not talking for so many years.


Oh, and yesterday my uncle gave us a dozen ears of fresh corn.. yum! And I went to the farmers market this morning and picked up plenty of home-grown green beans and new potatoes. We're going to have a great supper tonight. I'm excited! (Can you tell I love fresh veggies? Hehe.)

Yummy! My friend has a batch of wild ones growing in the middle of a pasture of cattle. Back when they used to have a more aggressive bull, I remember jumping the fence and trying to race to get to the blackberries.

the very hardest part about being a mom to a toddler is when you are sick. I am sick, very very ill. Today is a hard day and i just want it to be evening when Mark comes home from work.

Oh, Anna, I'm sorry, I've only just seen this. ^^ I so hope you have fully recovered by now.

Today, across my homeland of Wales, the flag is being raised to commemorate the proclamation of my Welsh hero,
Owain Glyndwr, as Prince more than 600 years ago.
