People that roll their eyes when you correct them in stating captions and subtitles are NOT the same thing have clearly never worked with captioning. However, I'd much rather work with them as SCCs over the old way of using a CAP file and hardware encoder connected to a PC. Unfond memories of inserting captioning to to the same tape using pre-read where it reads from the tape, sends the signal to be captioned, and then records the data back to the same tape. In real time.

Had to make an account just to comment.

I think many people here would be very surprised at how common these are still.

In my work, we get SCC ordered CONSTANTLY, even when the intended platform it’s for is fully digital.

I feel it’s a mixture of misunderstandings between that and SDH in addition to just people using subtitles and captions interchangeably.
