How "Talk Like a Pirate Day" began

It's well known that pirates have been talkin' trash and lootin' treasure for centuries now, but Talk Like a Pirate Day began with an admittedly "temporary moment of insanity" several years ago by Oregon natives John Baur and Mark Summers.

Since then, the idea has set sail on Internet news sites & countless blogs to become one of the most popular celebrations since Halloween.

Ahoy! - "Yo!"
Avast! - "Check it out!"

Arrr! - "That's right!", often confused with arrrgh.
Arrrgh! - "I'm VERY miffed."

How to talk like a pirate

Start right away by dropping your "g's" - as in sailin' or drinkin'.

Also avoid any pronunciation of "r's" so that "ever" becomes "e'er" and "never" becomes "ne'er".

Begin every other sentence with a scowl and a hearty... "aargh."
