It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day!

I'll start, with something not too far from our very hearts:

The Pirate Present Perfect described:


"We use th' Present Perfect t' say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. Th' exact time be nay important. Ye CANNOT use th' Present Perfect wi' specific time expressions such as: last high tide', one voyage ago, last week, when I be a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that tide, one tide, etc. We CAN use th' Present Perfect wi' unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc


Avast! And so on."

<<It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day!>>

Since it's international, I assume folks in Spain, France, Portugal, Libya, etc. are also practicing their pirate-speak today?
