I love when the conference stenographer breaks the 4th wall

Live conference subtitle output where the presenter says "who here speaks polish" and the stenographer adds a line saying "I speak 400 languages!"

@benjojo oh huh, somewhere between honk and glitch, quotation marks are getting butchered

screenshot of the alt text tooltip on benjojo's message; what were presumably meant to be quotation marks show up as " instead

@Gaelan yeah that checks out, it might be me to be honest, need to look into it

@benjojo Who speaks 400 languages? What is the stenographer's definition for a language (vs. dialect)? Are they a super mind?

@cafeinux they are making a joke
