'Tis a fine, fair wind a-blowin' this mornin' of Talk Like a Pirate Day! And now we learn from the scurvy dogs at Digg that Skype be recognizin' pirate-speak as a legitimate tongue.

Here be the Skype blog entry:

To celebrate the International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and to showcase how you can customize Skype yourself if you’re bored of the default texts, we bring you the Skype “talk like a pirate” language file. Just download the file and then in Skype, click “Tools”, “Change Language”, “Load Skype Language File”.

ARRR! Loadin' the "talk like a pirate" language file gives yer Skype interface a nautical flavor, with items such as "Press gang a new shipmate" and "send cannonball."

Here be the Flickr photoset so's ye can see the changes up close and fer yerself, like.
