Improving English subtitles AFTER they have been created

Yeah, yeah, don’t get me wrong, I agree the work done on Viki has always room for improvement. And editors must be brave enough to (politely) stand their ground when they know they’re right.

@edith_mcklveen_679, if you’re watching a show and you notice something way off, def mention this to the CM. Nobody said otherwise.

What I say the community seems to be against is when people want to change the subtitle because they feel it sounds better, when in fact it’s merely their own preference of expression (prettier as it may be) and the subtitle already sounds natural and is accurate and complete. 'Tis what I read in some guideline somewhere.

Also, as an other language mod, I prefer the English language used to be slightly “dry”, not to have very modern jargon. Not at the expense of a good joke or play of words, of course.
