Closed captioning isn’t perfect, but as someone with some hearing loss (diabetes-induced) and hearing aids, I pretty much read TV instead of watching it. I do think Ruthie’s expression in the 3rd panel is cute.
Frequently what is said and what is written varies interestingly.You can also tell if the captioners know how to spell or are knowledgeable on the given subject..We have (somewhere) an ancient TOP GUN movie on VCR with Spanish subtitles, not closed captioning.Whenever profanity was spoken, the Spanish subtitles would say “mal diction” or something like that, BAD WORD

Ok, so Ruthie doesn’t need a hearing aid. She needs glasses…

Most of Ruthie’s misinterpretations are cute & funny. Not al, but most. ;-)

When I’ve had to watch with the closed captions open, I often find they don’t capture the dialogue quite as well as might be desired.
