- that's not how the word's spelt
- there was only one M in the selection
- it was clear from that very sentence that they were talking about 6-letter words
OK, so maybe these errors aren't all that rare. Some are quite obvious, like PLANES when only PLAINS is in the selection. In what must have been episode 2271, I was almost screaming at the screen for their allowing ASSURE even though it wasn't in the selection. Only later did I realise it must have been a subtitling error and the contestants actually gave ASHORE.
But if only the subtitler looked what he/she is doing (and didn't just ignore when something seems amiss), errors as ridiculous as this wouldn't happen.
Anyway, what are your "favourite" subtitling errors on Countdown?
