Reality shows where they cuss so much that the "beep!" sound is going off constantly. It's "beep!" here and "beep!" there and "beep! beep! beep!" everywhere, every other word or so gets the "beep!" sound. I don't know how people can watch the show and enjoy it with all the "beep!" interrupting all the time!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-4525699577789856952014-06-03T18:36:58.540-04:002014-06-03T18:36:58.540-04:00The whispering doesn't seem to bother me that ...The whispering doesn't seem to bother me that much. I just turn up the volume. What ticks me off are the mumblers and people who slur their words or draw them together, as if there were no spaces between words. I constantly rewind (can you say "rewind" when it's digital?) to try and figure out what people said.<br /><br />My husband has similar problems, only his are with foreign movies in a foreign language. You know, British English. He can't ever understand them.Pixel Peeperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17553862902461169270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-2654003305477079832014-06-03T16:52:51.719-04:002014-06-03T16:52:51.719-04:00Ha ha, yes true!
