Facebook now 100% more pleasin’ t’ real pirates

Talk Like a Pirate Day is September 19, and it’s one of our favorite days here at Icrontic, but it seems Facebook is a fan as well. Even veteran users may not know that the site offers users the option to read Facebook entirely in pirate speak.

So what does it look like to read Facebook in High Seas English?

Arrr! Feast ye one good eye on this fine piece o' web design.

Interested pirates can activate scurvy speech by scrolling to the very bottom of their Facebook page and clicking English (US), or whatever ye mother tongue might be; select “English (Pirate)” from the list and be on ye merry, savvy?

Cap'n John has a nice ring to it, though.

Same here. After the second interface change, I decided Facebook was hard enough to use in English.

Well, at least some of us think its new...
