Since today is my birthday, I was curious if maybe today wasn’t also a “National” or “Annual” day of celebration that I might participate in. I didn’t expect it to be International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Because I write a blog and edit people’s precious manuscripts, resumes, and Doctoral dissertations, I didn’t think it was such a good idea for me. But it might be fun to try some year.
Here’s a description of the day: “International Talk Like A Pirate Day is a parody holiday annually held on September 19. Celebrated for the first time in 1995, the fun holiday encourages people to talk and dress like the sea plunderers of yesteryears.” You can learn more about the day (and maybe be inspired to join in the fun) by going to Fun Holiday — International Talk Like a Pirate Day.
