What's with the pirate talk on Fluther all of a sudden?

http://www.talklikeapirate.com/

It is talk like a pirate day, September 19th.

Matey.

Apparently, it’s also type like a pirate day. No one mentioned it to me. I’m only celebrating orally.

I have accepted the possibility that I might just be a stick in the mud.

@bodyhead, well now you’re really stuck… Fluther is previewing your quips as you type it in piratical.

The Live Preview text of the above was shown to me as:

@bodyhead, well now ye’re really stuck… Fluther be previewing yer quips as ye type it in piratical.

@robmandu: No. Really? ;)

Aye… do we have sferik to thank for that? Or all o’ ye working like magic little elves behind th’ scenes?

Whatever, it be very kewl.

Nimis is not really crafting a response…
Just having fun with the new found piraticalness.

Rob, that’s hilarious. I didn’t even notice that was happening. Kudos, fluther moderators. I’m impressed.

There once was a site called Fluther.
It could really be compared to no other.
Both Andrew and Ben
Are spectacular men
I’d like to thank both of their mothers!

ARGHHHHH!

Nice lurve will, 1234. Plus, this pirate talk is awesome, loving it, I lauged, thanks to Ben and Andrew :D

I am rather relieved it is only in preview. I thought the posted answers were in pirate speak. For some serious queries I was responding to, it felt a little wrong.

But if ‘tis only all in fun, like a bit ‘o song and a tot ‘o rum, then I’m all for it, matey. Here’s mud in yer eye and may yer course be straight and true.

Pegleg Pete and his parrot Polly thanks youse for all yer wonderful answers too.

Hey – how about a Sopranos day??

@janbb The only possible response is fuggeddaboutit.

Mari: I could answer your question, but then I’d have to kill yous.
Who wants to know? Which family do you work for?
Tell Bruno I’ve got his answer right here. [obscene gesturing]

ARRRGGG!!! It be pirate day!

ok, i think i just got my answer. i was in the middle of responding to a serious subject only to find my written words were not showing up as, well, serious. i was about to kiss fluther good-bye. i thought it was a sick virus.

i remember seeing a fluther question relative to this pirates day stuff, but just passed it up. heard a blurb of it on the news today and was like, yeah whatever.

no disrespect but, fluther, please turn this pirate stuff off.

@cc34 I have given up trying to proof my answers, because of the priate speak making me crazy.

All: Any typos? Blame the pirates!
