You know, people aren't always in a cinema environment whenever they watch a film, programme or advert. And people who are deaf or hard of hearing, when watching a film, will always be thankful for the subtitles present even if they know all the spoken dialogue is in their mother tongue. But I'm convinced that there are some people out there who insist on watching a film whose dialogue is in their mother tongue with subtitles playing even though can hear it all perfectly well, if they can. There are two main arguments to support this: a) you might not be able to actually understand something that's said, if the character's speaking too fast or sloppy or something; b) background noise in the vicinity of the speaker could make the dialogue in the film hard to hear.

I know the 888 thing on Teletext (British TV), that provides subtitles for whatever you're watching at the time. And I wonder if subtitles will one day be compulsory for every DVD released (as an option). ▲ Collapse
