It be "Talk Like a Pirate Day"

Avast, me proud beauty! Wanna know why my Roger is so Jolly? It be "Talk Like a Pirate Day". It's a day to learn yerself a new language, a day to extend yer vo-cab-oo-lary.

While oi was munchin' the biscuits with the crew today we hoisted the jolly roger. It were "Talk Like a Pirate Day" so we had ter celebrate. It stirs me barnacled 'eart to see the black flag flyin' proud. Them scurvy bilge-suckin' code-rats always writes damn good pirate software when the flag's a-flyin' (o'course if'n they don't write good code I tie 'em to the mizzenmast and give 'em a taste o' the rope's end).
