Talk like a pirate day TLAPD
http://www.pirates-privateers.com/talk-like-a-pirate-day-tlapd.htm
How to talk like a pirate (US)
- Remove all the Gs. For example, instead of ‘sailing’ or ‘fighting’ or ‘anything’ say sailin, fightin and anythin in pirate slang.
- Remove all the Vs. For example, instead of ‘ever’ or ‘never’, say e'er and ne'er in pirate slang.
- Double any adjectives. Pirates never say ‘a big ship’, they rather say ‘a great, grand ship’! For another example, they never say ‘never’, but ‘No nay ne'er!’.

Robert Newton apparently is close to the "true" Shakespearian Accent
How Shakespeare and his players REALLY sounded: Voice artist reveals the actors spoke in deep tones with bizarre 'pirate' accents formed from a melting pot of English dialects
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4843850/How-Shakespeare-s-plays-REALLY-sounded.html
1 September 2017
Modern Shakespeare productions are performed using received pronunciation
But this is not how the plays were recited in the 16th and 17th centuries
Actors of the time would have had a strange accent that mixed several dialects
This is because London was a 'melting pot' of regional accents, one expert says
Plays would have been performed with a deeper tone because the actors needed to project their voices over rowdy crowds
William Shakespeare may have had a bizarre 'pirate' accent with flecks of nearly every regional UK English dialect - a reflection of the 'melting pot' London he lived in.
To modern ears, he would have also sounded slightly American, and at times Australian, researchers claim.
That strange accent extends to the actors who performed his plays. They would recite lines with a fast pace and in deep tones so they could be heard above the crowds.
Now, one voice artist has recorded exactly what Shakespeare and his actors sounded like 400 years ago.
See link for further info
...
The West Country accent was particularly prominent due to Bristol's status as a major global port town at the time. |

Flying Spaghetti Monster
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_Spaghetti_Monster
The Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) is the deity of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Pastafarianism, a social movement that promotes a light-hearted view of religion and opposes the teaching of intelligent design and creationism in public schools.
The central creation myth is that an invisible and undetectable Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe after drinking heavily.
Pirates are revered as the original Pastafarians.
According to Pastafarian beliefs, pirates are "absolute divine beings" and the original Pastafarians.
Furthermore, Pastafarians believe that the concept of pirates as "thieves and outcasts" is misinformation spread by Christian theologians in the Middle Ages and by Hare Krishnas.
Instead, Pastafarians believe that they were "peace-loving explorers and spreaders of good will" who distributed candy to small children, adding that modern pirates are in no way similar to "the fun-loving buccaneers from history".
In addition, Pastafarians believe that ghost pirates are responsible for all of the mysteriously lost ships and planes of the Bermuda Triangle.
Pastafarians are among those who celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19. |
