My gripes... - Using poor grammar. Run the script through a spell check (like MS Word), it'd catch your mistakes.
- Adding foul language.
- Not translating relevant signs, like newspapers & magazines.
- Not distinguishing subtitles when multiple characters are talking, or if there's a radio or TV in the background.
- Coloring subtitles for each character based on their hair color.
- Adding the episode title in fancy font to the beginning of the episode when it isn't shown until the end.
- Adding the episode title to the file name.

And on poor grammar. Remember, using the wrong word spelled correctly is still wrong.
Examples of atrocities:
"form" instead of "from", "there" for "their", "they're" for "their", "freight" for "fright", and the worst offender "then" for "than".
