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.

Note that the subtitle files included do NOT contain subtitles for certain custom campaigns (e.g. Dead Before Dawn) that TLS added, and therefore replacing the caption file in the "update" folder will cause these to disappear. You can edit gameinfo.txt to add a new directory and placing the caption files in there, that way you'll have better subtitles and custom campaign subtitles.
