Arrrrrrrre You Ready...
...for International Talk Like A Pirate Day?
Well, be ye ready or no, 'tis a day that has crept upon ye like a scurvy knave on a black night! Aye, me hearties--today be the day when English grammar be thrown to the four winds of the seven seas!
But if it be lessons ye're needin', on how to speak like a proper miscreant pirate wretch, sail on over to this video and watch Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket pontificate on the finer points of pirate language. Such as, the meaning of "Ahoy!" (trans: "Hello!")
Yo ho ho!

This morning in my literary criticism class, a friend and I were passing notes back and forth--so bad, I know. And she reminded me that it was talk like a pirate day.
I half laughed, and we joked back and forth a little bit. Then I added, "I don't know if we could discuss Wordsworth w/ a pirate-like use of language, savvy?"
Needless to say, it was downhill from there, and it was most difficult to contain our giggles in the corner of the room... :)
