I'm at a disadvantage here, as I have no idea how pirates talk. I may have to opt out.

Mary! I am scandalized! Do you mean to tell me that you haven't been following the career of Captain "Jack" Sparrow?  Or even been near Bristol / Portsmouth recently? Keelhauling might be a teensy bit on the harsh side, but perhaps I should recommend that you read "Treasure Island"? |

I think I was forced to read Treasure Island at school. I dismissed it as a "boy's book", so as a result I'm very ignorant about pirates. I like Peter Pan, though, so long as it's not the Disney version. Does that help? Captain Hook's a pirate, but I can't remember how he talks.
Who's Jack Sparrow?

I can hardly believe that anybody could have missed all the fuss, but it's a good excuse for another airing so: I have no idea how pirates talk. I may have to opt out.
Don't worry MC - all taken care of!  |

Thanks for that, kittybriton. I shall study it  . It sounds a bit like a Britten opera, apart from the Lady Pirates. I tend to avoid American films. |

Lady Pirates.
Nancy Blackett in Arthur Ransome's wonderful Swallow and Amazons series. (She's actually called Ruth, but believes pirates should be Ruth-less -Ransome clearly didn't know The Pirates of Penzance.) Barbecued billygoats! |

Ah, now I had a very, very serious pash on Nancy Blackett and have never got over it. I thought she was just utterly wonderful but sadly I also knew I was wholly unworthy and that she would just despise me. Sigh. (Please do not draw out any psychoanalytical conclusions from this. I'd really rather not know.) |

I had a crush on Sebastian in Veronica at the Wells. So did every other girl I knew.
There was a nice film of Swallows and Amazons.

Anyone with this problem (and it is a problem) could do worse than to study the libretto of The Pirates of Penzance. For example, they pronounce the word "often" the same way as "orphan". |

But not typical pirates, surely, Tony. They are no members of the common throng
They are all noblemen who have gone wrong. |
