RE: Talk Like a Pirate Day

[David Wasieleski]

My great great grandfather was a pirate (you know all about those Polish Pirates, I presume?), and I am offended by this stereotyping of pirates.
Excuse me, I have to go feed my parrot and clean my pegleg.

Well, shiver me timbers!

Ever wonder about how much of supposedly pirate talk is far more
"Treasure Island" type literature and second-rate seafaring yarns than
true speak?



Make it a good day.
