Share a fun fact with us

I don’t know if this qualifies as a fun fact, but when I watch movies, I often turn on the Spanish subtitles to compare how the original dialogue was translated. It’s a habit that stems from my curiosity about language nuances. Sometimes, though, it can be distracting, so I end up turning them off since I’m fluent in English. However, my curiosity usually gets the best of me, leading to a cycle of turning subtitles on and off to analyze the translation. In short, I might not be the best movie-watching companion (haha).
