I learned this directly when I decided to create English subtitles for French films and TV as an exercise when I was trying to get from B2 to C1 in French. It was a good exercise, but the result was unusable because the text often goes by too quickly to read.

But is it a duck or a rabbit?

I don’t believe it’s possible to 86 47 but Jack Poso seems to be volunteering as a surrogate.
