Are you implying that Talk Like a Pirate Day is some kind of trumped up hoax and not a celebration of our true cultural heritage?
You are so walking the plank limey!
When my Daughter was around 4 years old, I was just playing with her and I talked like a pirate for just a few words. This would have been nearly 35 years ago.
Anyway she told me: “talk like that again”. I guess even kids recognize the interesting words and inflection of pirate talk.
