Subtitle slaughter isn't a new thing. Here are a couple of classics from the BBC ...
Now the challenge lies with so many universities who are having to record technical or scientific lectures which are appropriately subtitled. It's an almost impossible task.
Here are just a few that I've been made aware of recently:
'laboratories' turned in to 'bottle trees'
'ionic bond' became 'ironic bondage' ... not helpful.
But they get worse ...
'which is known as a vibrio' came out as 'which is known as a vibrator'
My personal favourite, though I probably shouldn't admit it so publicly (oops too late)
'we have got an s orbital' became 'we have got this arsehole'
