Have you ever noticed the subtitles in "Inglorious Bastards". They translate off of the words from French to English, except leave "Oi" as "Oi" instead of "yes". Really annoys me ahah )

English subtitles are crap most of the time, that is what I notice. I think it is because English speaking countries are not traditional subtitling countries, they feel like there is no real need to do them good. Which is no good for the deaf and hard of hearing community. The same goes for classical dubbing countries like Germany, Spain or France, but with the digital age, media content needs to be put out much quicker and for less money, and subtitles are cheaper to be made than dubbing, so there is a market there. The best subtitles are made in Scandinavian countries, in my opinion. They know how to do it so you can follow the movie, and get the gist of what is said in a timely manner. This is also why Scandinavians usually speak a very good English, including the proper and frequent use of idioms. Low payments and translation companies in oversea countries who work for very little wages kind of destroy the market for quality subtitling and translation, no company really wants to pay for better quality. I hardly ever watch subtitled movies anymore cause the quality pisses me off lol But I try my best to improve it with my own work.
Oh, and I think they might have left the "oui" in there to create some sort of authentic mood, just like a lot of times Herr or Fräulein are kept in German movies even when they are translated into English

I know what you mean about subtitles. Sometimes they read differently then was actually said. Kind of like paraphrasing, I guess. Or sometimes the subtitles are done in huge letters right on the picture, as opposed to smaller print underneath or at the bottom of the picture. Some subtitles are so well done. There's at least one movie I can think of that doesn't have subtitles at all - Reservoir Dogs. I won't even watch it!

Subtitling is also about intelligently summing things up. I know that deaf and hoh people would love it all verbatim, but sometimes that is just not possible due to time constraints. We are walking a fine line all the time, thinking about what to cut and what to leave out. When letters are covering text or images that should be visible otherwise, they are badly done. There is a lot of science and thought going into the making of them, much more than you would think. It sucks if people have to miss out on movie experiences because there are no subtitles. I hope sooner or later everything will be captioned somehow. In a professional manner, not by some amateur subtitlers on the webs.

Shit taker could also be the person in the parade following the horses and animals with a scooper, removing them so the poor marching band doesn't have to step in a pile.

Amen to your mommy speech! Except the Taylor Swift part--jk.
I had considered OT my senior year in high school because I was in cross-country and that's what my coach did. He loved his job--very rewarding. Of course I went on to change my mind like 20 times or so, and am now unemployed. But if you count my husband, my son and my dog--there is never a dull moment--like you said in your speech.

Basically OTs help people regain function after injury, illness, surgery etc. We do arm and hand rehab as well as teach adaptations so that the person can continue to function with the skills they have or learn new ones. I work in home care so most of my clients are 80+ years old and their issues range from arthritis, fractures, strokes, cardiac, COPD, diabetis, joint replacements. I help them figure out how to do things as safely and independently as possible. It's the best feeling in the world to teach someone to do something they couldn't do before/ to help them see that they are capable of more than they thought. I have the best job in the world. (Also bc I drive around all day which gives me tons of time to listen to bootlegs). I'm not stuck in an office and I make my own schedule. The only drawback is waiting on my patients doorstep for multiple minutes in the freezing cold while they get up out of their recliners with their walkers to come and open it for me. Brrrrr!

From what I understand OT's do exercises with you so you can get back to daily living, such as stuff with your upper body. Whereas Physical Therapists concentrate on fixing your injury. That's just how I understand it from personal experience.
Leeze, I applaud your subtitling efforts. I don't watch a lot of foreign movies translated into English subtitles, but I do watch a lot of English TV shows and movies with subtitles and there are a few that have me scratching my head. Nothing is worse than when the subtitles are like 5-10 seconds off. I'm not deaf or hoh but for some reason I need to watch stuff with subtitles. It's like when someone is talking to me from the other side of the room, I need to put my glasses on so I can "see what they're saying" or else I genuinely do have trouble processing what was said.
I'm currently unemployed/full time care giver/soon to be student again.
