Facebook Pirate English

The strangest grouping of my friends use Facebook's setting "English (Pirate)", not just for hardcore buccaneers, professors, antiquarians, those who make their living dealing with language and complexity of semantics among my group of contacts have been commenting on just how fantastic they find the option.

That said, I'm taking the plunge this week and seeing how it goes. I challenge any and all of you to try it out for at least a week, because it's wonderful and full of raucous scallywaggery and vernacular tomfoolery. Should ye' dare, post your opinions in the comments.
