Due to sloppy engineering practice, many broadcasters routinely transmit
programmes where the picture is delayed relative to the sound. This means that
dialogue is heard before the actors open their mouths—something I find
extremely irritating, but most people never seem to notice.
Groß should be grateful he doesn’t live in some Southeast Asian countries.
Due to the poor literacy rates, subtitles aren’t an option and many countries
just have one man and woman doing all the dubbed voices. (And quite often, the
translating and sound effects as well).
