back when I was a kid, I would always get curious as to what words certain cartoons used, so I found out about closed captions and had them turned on for my TV 24/7.

Because of closed captions, I was able to read significantly faster and significantly became better at spelling than most of my peers in school and it allowed me to watch anime subtitles without missing the action.

TV defeated a group of grammar and English teachers lel.

Yea, one of the shows that made me used closed captioning was Ed, Edd, n Eddy, mostly because of the "big" words that Double D used. So I had to get used to looking at both the action AND reading the closed captioning at the same time.
