Ahoy, ye landlubbers! Today be September 19th and it be International Talk Like A Pirate Day. I not be kiddin' yar. If ye have not yet heard of ITLAPD, check out this link on t' Wikipedia. As we all be knowin', if it be on Wikipedia, it be legit. There also be an official ITLAPD website, for all yer piratey needs.
So, why should ye be talkin' like a pirate? 'Cause it be fun!!! I ain't be much good at it, arr, but I enjoy it nevertheless.
On this culturally enrichin' day, thar be a perrrfect way for ye to join in. It be changin' yer Facebook language to "English (Pirate)". If ye be a firrrst-timer, I'll show yar how!
First, ye be clickin' on the cog in the top right corner tharr, and click on "Account Settings".
Next, ye be clickin' on "Edit" next to "Language", and choose from th' drop-down box "English (Pirate)". It be amazin' the many options there arr for English!
Arrrfter ye click "Save Changes", ye should be seein' results immediately:
Then ye just need ter do some explorin' and enjoy th' fine linguistic changes, which break th' monotony of th' averrrrage day! This is what me personal page now be lookin' like:
Ye should be seein' gems, such as "Amend yer particulars" (update info), "Log o' adventures" (activity log), "Scour fer scallywags, islands or general thingies" (Search for people, places or things), "Arr!" (like), "Weigh in" (comment), "Blabber t' yer mates" (share), and "Me Hearties" (friends).
Even yer little pop-up boxes and notifications be much more interestin'!
Even th' simple things such as likin' a post be more excitin'!
If ye be worried about findin' yer way home after yer grand pirate adventure, fear not! I be givin' ye th' treasure map now. Click on that wee cog in th' top right corner again, and choose "Ye Ship's Rigging".
Then ye be clickin' "Mend th' sails", next to "Tongue", and choose ye yer preferrrred language, and seal th' deal with "Stow Changes".
So, what say ye, yer scallywags!! Will ye give it a real pirrrrate go? Well, if ye don't at least give it a hearty try, I and th' crew be sending ye down to Davy Jones' locker!! Arrrr!!!
If ye need some help shoutin' like a scurvy pirate, I also found 'tis great scurvy pirate translator!
May yer day be entir'ly unmonotonous, and randomly entertainin'! Well enough talkin' from me.....swab the deck, yar scallywags!!
