That poor little distressed tab holding my left margin in place snapped off, despite my attempts to be gentle (it had been bent completely over, so it was bound to happen). Now, I have wired it into a 1" on the left margin.

I am not fond of corporate subtitles of anime/movies because it tends to be just the closed-captions of the dub, so the translations are wrong.
