For some reason, I love to watch my shows with the captions/subtitles on. Has anyone else noticed that the captions spell Pittsburgh with no "h"? Since when is that great city spelled "Pittsburg"?? OOOOPS...

In my Rand McNally Road Atlas it's spelled with an "h" at the end. Wonder why the captions leave it off?

Pittsburgh has been spelled with an "h" at the end everywhere else I see it in print. How come none of the captioning people have picked up on this?

My middle school English teacher would be (in her own words) shocked and appalled.

I have seen a lot of crazy captioning on tv shows. It makes me think, that some of these people who type up the dialogues are drunk!

Who's typing, Ned the Wino? Otis Campbell??
