Avast Me Hearties! Itapos;s International Talk Like A Pirate Day and Twitterapos;s going overboard with the arrrrguably important news. The celebration, created by Mark "Capapos;n Slappy" Summers and John "Olapos; Chumbucket" Baur was mentioned nine years ago by Dave Barry in his nationally syndicated column and has become a growing phenomenon ever since. The TLAPD website offers landlubbers all they needs to unleash their inner Jack Sparrows, including pirate-talk training in Dutch, Swedish, French, Mandarin, and German, as well as the handy online English-to-Pirate Translator. So grab ye your grog and hornpipe, belay your barnacles, and hoist your yardarms with all your mateys for this all-day pirate parrrrrrty.
