   Stenographic keyboards are used for closed captioning. Basically what you see is a very embarrassing keyboard typo made on a stenographic machine. They key combinations for the letters J and V are easily mixed up. Could also be a brain fart with the captioner hearing the incorrect word and writing it by mistake. Captioners have to write at speeds upwards of 250 words a minute and sometimes there’s no time to make corrections. Personally I’d put the word into my computer in a way that I’d never write it by mistake. I agree that it’s a pretty big fail. I’d be mortified.

   What a hoot! It’s such fun to read closed captioning. It can be very entertaining.
