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?

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.

[number1112]

Um. I'm not sure what you're talking about...

[chapter_behind]

English, sir. The language originating in England, the center of the British Empire.

[number1112]

So what's the problem with the day?

[chapter_behind]

Apparently, we're to speak like lice ridden scoff laws.

[number1112]

That doesn't sound very nice...

[chapter_behind]

Precisely.

[number1112]

Who decided that was a good idea?

[chapter_behind]

I haven't the faintest idea.

[number1112]

So if we just don't do it, then what happens?

[chapter_behind]

Nothing, I'd assume. I certainly don't mean to participate.

[number1112]

Good. I don't know anything about lice anyway, so I don't know how they talk.

[chapter_behind]

Lice are insects. They cannot speak.

[number1112]

Didn't you say that's how we should talk?

[chapter_behind]

Like pirates. The men who carry them.

[number1112]

What are pirates?

[chapter_behind]

Men who'd rather steal than earn an honest wage.

[number1112]

That's terrible.

[chapter_behind]

Finally. Someone with sense.

[number1112]

What's your name? I'm 11-12.

[chapter_behind]

James Norrington.

[number1112]

Nice to meet you. I think I've seen you around the community before.

[chapter_behind]

Most likely. This place refuses to let me leave.

[number1112]

It's a good place though.
