About this document
Retiring "The Captioned Subject" Usage by Chris Chan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the common Hong Kong expression "the captioned X" where X is a noun referring to a topic mentioned in a document heading. It argues this expression is confusing and unrelated to the modern meaning of "caption". The author recommends retiring this expression from official and business writing. Alternatives like "previously mentioned" or "mentioned above" should be used instead to refer back to a heading topic.
