Avast, me hearties! Today be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! This be a worldwide holiday dedicated to talkin’ like ye be a pirate. Now, ye may think we all be landlubbers, what with the lack of ocean in Frisco, but we be all swashbucklers and scallywags aboard this ship.
I reckon ye landlubbers be unprepared to join the carousin’. Ye likely be afraid o’ walkin’ the plank. But ye be in luck. Even if ye don’t know bow from stern, we’ll give ye some pirate trainin’.* Some of ye already be usin’ Mango Languages to learn a language like Spanish or French. Ye can also use it for learnin’ to talk like ye be a pirate! Here be the map to this treasure.
For those of ye that be old salts already, there be a more advanced way for ye to carouse, if ye have a Facebook. Firstly, ye need to be clickin’ on the “Account” menu on the starboard side of yer page. Then ye’ll click on “Account Settings.” Find ye the menu that say “Language,” and click “edit.” Ye’ll then be scrollin’ through the drop down menu until ye find “English (Pirate).” That’s the one ye’ll be pickin’. Don’t be forgettin’ to save, or ye’ll have a mutiny on yer hands. Savvy?
If ye be interested in revisitin’ the adventures o’ that fine gentleman o’ fortune, Jack Sparrow, ye can find them here.
*Eye patch, peg leg, cutlass, and parrot be not included.
