Really. An entire day dedicated to the speech of the lawless, the dissolute, the disease-ridden, and the ill-educated? I fail to see why this is necessary. Certainly there isn't 'international talk like an urchin day's or 'beggar day' as well. Hasn't the future wreaked enough havoc on the King's English as it is?

It does seem rather odd. What on earth can have possessed them?

[chapter_behind]

I've absolutely no idea.

King's English?

[chapter_behind]

Contrary to popular belief, his majesty's subjects do have some claim to the language you all seem to take such joy in abusing.

[bornfromdeath]

What day is this? When they teach people english here, they never mention colloquialisms used by criminals. I doubt I would understand a word of it.

If I am to believe the bulliten the community sent me, it is "Talk Like A Pirate" day.

[notjustathief]

Arrrrrr, are ye not enjoying this here most wondrous of silly holidays?Arrrr.

No loyalty to king or country, I see, Mr. Eames.

[glimmerous_fop]

Something got your goat Professor Higgins? I thought the English were responsible for perverting the King's English first. Cockney.

And yes beggars have a day...or rather they have a night. It's called Halloween...though admittedly it's not what it used to be. Actually almost every day observes something.

[Oh, Klavier, are you trying to come to the defense of your poor, beleaguered Professer Lyall? Because HE STARTED IT.]

All Hollows doesn't encourage you to speak like a beggar, nor does it glorify their life. At any rate, your supposed to give out treats to pacify roving spirits, not the poor.

Well, that explains why I heard a couple of teenagers going "Arrr" in of my apartment building today.

[ So just after glancing at this man's icon: this online place even has people dressing up in colonial-era garb, too? Nope, she's still p. much convinced that this is all some strange website. ] I believe this day is only popular among children, linguistic anthropologists, and.... pirate enthusiasts.

Re: Permavid;

[chapter_behind]

Pirate enthusiasts.

[deadlydoctor]

Pardon...?

[chapter_behind]

Apparently, today is dedicated to bad grammar and thievary.

[sugar_and_spice_witch]

Yohoho and a bottle of rum atop a dead man's chest, arr! Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? Nothing like a real pirate, right? They can have a day like this because they've completely forgotten what pirates even look or sound like.

[chapter_behind]

"15 men on a dead man's chest/yo ho ho and a bottle of rum." It's a song, miss, and I highly doubt you understand the proper meaning.

There really is such a day?

[Small pause to shift the heel then he grins a bit.]

Avast there, Norrington!

[didiscareyouyet]

[Have a video of a boy, looking at the screen, trying to figure out what he's talking about. Cause he has no idea.]

[chapter_behind]

Yes?

[makewayforroze]

What day do you mean?

[chapter_behind]

Talk like a Pirate day.

[Audio or text, whichever works]

English isn't the first language that I learned, but I have a grasp of it and... while I understand the need for language to evolve and develop, I fail to understand the need for folk to devote a day to murdering a language.

either is fine!

[chapter_behind]

I share your sentiments exactly, sir.
