But what if they got a nasty splinter or something. They'd have said Arrrgh then. Mark Send a noteboard - 19/09/2012 11:16:31 AM
Also I'm pretty sure that pirates from the English West Country would have used that accent and as far as I can remember quite a few pirates came from that neck of the woods.

The stereotype pirate accent is totally due to Robert Newton in Disney's Treasure Island. Tom - 19/09/2012 02:50:23 PM 581 Views
Trust me, if you think the pirate accent is an exageration you've not spent time in the West Country snoopcester - 19/09/2012 08:05:07 PM 812 Views
But the "arr", the poor grammar (like "me matey" and such) and the colorful words ARE the accent. Tom - 19/09/2012 10:42:30 PM 541 Views
When talking about an accent, the actual language doesn't occur to me snoopcester - 20/09/2012 12:13:20 AM 578 Views

Also, perhaps I say it as should not, but I do not think Cracked a reliable source. Joel - 19/09/2012 10:36:44 PM 785 Views
Cracked is not the only source that says pirates didn't talk like that. National Geographic did. Tom - 19/09/2012 10:40:16 PM 580 Views
Ah, OK then, that works. Joel - 19/09/2012 11:00:00 PM 627 Views
