1. A method comprising:
causing the display of a media asset, wherein the display includes displaying a keyword and a date-related reference;
determining, based on querying a source separate from the media asset and based on the keyword, a date of an upcoming event associated with the keyword;
determining whether the date-related reference corresponds to the upcoming event associated with the keyword; and
in response to determining that the date-related reference does not correspond to the upcoming event:
replacing, in real time during display of the media asset, the date-related reference with an absolute date, wherein the absolute date corresponds to the upcoming event associated with the keyword; and
modifying the display of the media asset to display the absolute date.
