Does anyone here besides me love to use in on their TV, even though you are not deaf?

I've always wondered: How come some shoes are ALL-CAPS CC, but others are not??

:shrug:

1. I use it ...
I hate it when shows say they are CC and then it doesn't show up.

I don't know the answer to your question. Sorry.

3. i use it aLL the time
but i'm aLso over 50% deaf, so unLess i'm aLone in a quiet pLace i miss most of what's being said on tv.

what i Love about CC, is the HUGE typos that occur aLmost everyLine; sometimes, i swear, the transcriber is purposeLy trying to fuck with peopLe. :rofl:

oh, the answer to your question: the typer had the 'caps Lock' key pressed.

4. I use it at times.
A couple of weeks ago I had it on for 'Boston Legal' because the sound seemed a tad muted.

I know I'm childish but I couldn't help larfing when Denny Crane cut the cheese because the CC read "farts".
