should they? i mean subtitles tell when they mean to say but is not fully accurate. should subtitles like so they write what they really say in that order though i might get confusing but atleast then u can compare the words in the subtitle to the words they're saying.

I can truthfully say that most of the subtitles are actually accurate.. Its only some words that have many different meanings and can get mistaken for others.. Most of the times why subtitles aren't so accurate is because trying to translate one language to another is hard as it is... because look at the bible and see how many different versions there are.. because everyone has different translations or interpret it in a different way. Other times its just because they speed sub it so the fan could enjoy it fast and jsut get most of it.. because truthfully I wouldn't really mind if 1 or 2 words were off.. comon if you enjoy it then thats good enough!
