September 19th has been marked as the “Talk like a pirate day” across the world and the social networking kings Facebook and Twitter celebrated the day.
This came up as an excellent experience in itself though the history seems pretty weird. It was just that one of the two friends used “Aaaarrr!” as an exclamation instead of the conventional exclamations.
Talk like a pirate day is into the trend for today and people having been looking for pirate translators lately that can get their conversation converted into the pirate style.

As a foreigner of the English language, I observe that military talking style is also weird, in particular during wartime. In war movies, it is not easy to catch all words correctly. It it because of the battle ground environment, in compare with long journey, salty and alcoholic lives of pirates?
