Revised Subtitles 1.3 (CLOSED CAPTIONS UPDATE)

Description
"I hate good grammar."

Revised Subtitles is an effort to perfect the English grammar and spelling within Left 4 Dead 2. Nearly all ~20,000 voice lines, revised and corrected to modern English grammar standards.

This mod also includes some custom formatting, such as italicized text on emphasized words. For example:

Original: "I have not come this far to die now."
Revised Subtitles: "I have NOT... come this far... to die now..."

Words that were absent or wrongly used are replaced accordingly. For example:

Original: "Rochelle: Great. Infected in hazmat suits."
Revised Subtitles: "Rochelle: Great. Zombies in hazmat suits."

The names of some NPC's have also been changed. For example, "Pilot" from the Dead Air finale is changed to "AC-130 Pilot" and "Soldier" from the Blood Harvest finale is changed to "Rescue 9" (This name is taken directly from The Sacrifice comic[www.l4d.com])

This mod changes English subtitles AND closed captions
Thank you, TLS team, for saving me the trouble of fixing some previously known errors.
And thank you, M.G., for making a guide on how to make custom subtitles.

NOTE: THIS ADDON REQUIRES MANUAL INSTALLATION
Step 1: Download GCFScape here [nemstools.github.io]
Step 2: Open this addon via GCFScape, you can find it in /left4dead2/addons/workshop
Step 3: Extract all the files and put them in their respective folders. You want to replace the files that are named subtitles_english.dat

To those that are still confused on how to install manually, I made a guide here.

I think you messed something up, the mod can not do that itself.

Something to correct is that instead of "AC-130 Pilot" it should say "C-130 Pilot" since the AC-130 is the version used for air attacks while the C-130 is for use as transport, which is what is used in dead air: v
