Talk Like a Pirate Day

USWNN - International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a humorous holiday invented in 1995 by John Baur (Ol 'Chumbucket) and Mark Summers (Cap'n Slappy), Corvallis, Oregon, United States, who proclaimed September 19 as the day when everyone should talk like a pirate. On the occasion of this celebration, Guild Wars undergoes a slight transformation, from the year 2008. Over the years this celebration has gained much popularity, especially in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Although in reality, there is no such as Castilian jargon. To characterize a person as a pirate when in a movie or in literature, is often used outdated language with expressions like "thunder and lightning", etc., It prevents us from grasping the true essence and grace of films such as "Captain Blood" (1935), "Treasure Island" (1950), "Treasure Island Muppets'" (1996), and "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" (2003).

Talk like a pirate is more an attitude than the vocabulary itself, there are some general guidelines that can be applied to Castilian for your speech resembles pirate jargon. For example: using the interjection "ar" at random intervals, especially at the beginning and end of sentences, always speaks in a hoarse voice and gravely from years of shouting orders over the roar of cannon fire and the cry of the wind replaces basic keywords such as "friends" with "comrades", remember, say it in a rude and violent, do not try anyone of you or you but with "yer" or "and".
