Subtitle Etiquette
Getting creative in long partnerships
There was an article in the paper the other day about how people are using closed captions when they watch shows on their tvs or computers. I know we do that sometimes, particularly shows that are from Ireland or the UK…..or the deep south of the US! So it made me think of this, and how couples who have been together a long time might interact. Do you turn your partner’s subtitles off sometimes? Or maybe the volume….?
Happy Wednesday, hope your week is going okay. Thanks for being here! I am on vacation, and scheduled a week of “just cartoons.”
Have stood back in a hallway and lowered the volume on the tv (with the spare tv remote) over the shoulder of husband watching a game (name the sport here) (all of them) on stun volume, just wish the man would use subtitles. Of course he doesn’t even notice.
Just one of those moves that has saved a 50 year relationship.
I LOVE subtitles! My partner had never really used them but she uses them all the time now. I watch a lot of British TV and it definitely helps.
I do have a NYer question: do you care where in the magazine--or in what type of article--your cartoon appears?
