Yarr mateys! Saturday, September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Started as a joke between a couple of friends, this holiday is now widely celebrated throughout the world. For tips on how you can talk like a pirate and see how others throughout the world are celebrating TLAPD, visit the official Talk Like a Pirate Day website! You can translate anything you say to piratespeak with this handy translator: http://www.fissio.com/pirate.pl. If you use Meebo for IM, you can always turn piratespeak on and off just by typing in "pirateon" or "pirateoff" in an IM.
Last year on September 19, Facebook introduced a new language - piratespeak, and you can change it now to English (Pirate) by visiting the translations page. It only appears in the lower-left area when you click on "english (US)", not on the right side options.
Have fun!

I am not sure I could talk like a pirate, a sailor maybe. Have you seen Silent Library?

I should teach Kai to talk only like a pirate all the time, and see what happens!
