My step-mother is deaf and uses closed captioning. When I see the captioning for live events it's sometimes hilariously wrong. I'm not sure what is going on with the BBC, which has gotten its captions wrong often enough that the British regulatory body Ofcom decided it needed to set up quality audits.

It's the Year of the Whores?
