Avast, me hearties! (Or, Achtung, Frrrreunde!) It's Talk Like a Pirate Day! This is the only holiday known to have started from a sports injury. There are many sites to help you learn pirate-speak. But maybe this year you'd prefer to learn how to stop your idiot colleagues from talking like pirates, or how to recognize true pirate speech from fake. (Throwing around the expression "Arrrrr!" is pure Hollywood.)
