As a closed caption user, I partially use it to try and improve my vocabulary. On the fly, it’s very easy to hear a word like “hoi polloi” and not know how to spell it. In that case, that’s a missed learning opportunity.
Also, closed captions make watching TV on mute seamless and that’s fantastic if you like to intersperse your viewing with conversation.
