★ NOTE ON SOURCING IN CAPTIONS▼▼▼▼▼▼▼

I've added a citation system into my closed captioning. In order to be respectful to the hard of hearing members of this community, I've tried to make this as non-intrusive as possible., so as not to distract from reading.

At the end of a sentence with sourcing, something like this will appear:

"The sky is blue. The ocean is blue (17,89)."

In this example, the 1st number represents the source # from the source list in the description.

The 2nd number represents the page number, if the source is a book.
