Are you tired of seeing sloppy subtitles underneath your favourite TV shows? The UK's media regulator thinks it's a problem and recently said it would crack down on gaffes such as asking for "a moment's violence" during the Queen Mother's funeral.
Ofcom said it continues to receive numerous complaints about problems with the accuracy and speed of live TV subtitling. Other examples it cited include a BBC weather presenter being subtitled as saying "they would be a few more mist and Fox patches".
But bad subtitling seems like a wider problem – just look at this Tumblr blog of on-screen gaffes. And, if you haven't seen it, Mock the Week's "subtitle fails" section is well worth a watch.
