I use closed captioning b/c I am severely hearing impaired. When a political video uses the word "sychophant,"

I watch videos posted online. I never watch TV--don't even have one, in fact. tblue37 Sep 11 #5

Hahaha! I just had a closed captioning turn "sycophants" into "sicko fans," which might even top "sicko pants." tblue37 Sep 14 #7

But, I also have closed caption, (I have mild hearing loss and use hearing aides) always turned on because I always miss a word or two. That is so funny "sicko pants." I lol from your story. It almost makes me want to turn on the new, but I can't, gives me high blood pressure and stresses me out.
