UPROARIOUS laughter here!! Oh my gosh…
and you get captioning in your meeting? Wow!

(I can suddenly just see and hear Dad howling with hilarity…)

At college (many, many years ago), a group of us were watching a Truffaut film with subtitles. They translated “merde” as “hot damn!”. We roared with laughter!

ROFL!

How on earth do those two things sound similar?! I’m sure I would have at least snorted if not laughed outright.

I had an experience similar to Anne’s: I was watching a movie with subtitles some years back, and when a character said “merde,” the subtitle said “dang it.” I wasn’t the only one who laughed, either. That … is not an exact translation. Though I assume that was a choice made by the movie company, and not an automated subtitle generator. If we put the closed captioning on to watch hockey things, they struggle quite a lot with player names and sports-specific terms.

Hehehe! How? I mean, what? I keep thinking they thought aloha was a sneeze, and I giggle again.

After catching up on some posts, it is good to read that you are still laughing! I bet the peaches helped with the healing from the fall and all. (I laughed at the idea of giving a hat to the child of a prolific knitter, right along with you.)
