We put our flag up this morning rolled our Rs mightily at every chance in preparing for work and school.

National Geographic: "Pirate talk" is largely a fictional concept popularized by actor Robert Newton in the 1950 Disney film Treasure Island. Newton based the exaggerated pirate accent on his native West Country dialect from southwestern England, a real dialect known for its pronounced "r" sounds and maritime expressions. While this performance established the stereotypical pirate voice, historical pirates did not all sound this way, instead speaking with various accents from their diverse origins.

"Talk like you're West Country Day" doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

And isn't the current way to believe a group of trustworthy looking folks like the Backyardigans over "researchers".

In any case "Tales and dreams are the shadow-truths that will endure when mere facts are dust and ashes, and forgot.”

[And thank you for the note, I had assumed it wasn't real, but hadn't heard the West Country dialect connection before. Now I want to find a period mystery on Britbox with someone using it.]

I'm only supposed to talk like a pirate without acting like a pirate? I'm going to have a heck of a time explaining all this blood to my coworkers.

This is the kind of talk that gets one marooned on a desert island.

Original Poldark perhaps?

Old versions of Jamaica Inn?

It might be worth mentioning that the Admiral Benbow Inn is located in the West Country, so, whilst the pirates might not have that accent, Jim Hawkins, Squire Trelawney etc do.

Also, one supposes The Pirates of Penzance have West Country accents.
