Unlike the cryptically mysterious origin(s) of Wife Appreciation Day (which some people are alleging doesn’t actually exist (seemingly mostly from menfolk, as far as we can tell)), Talk Like a Pirate Day not only has a more definitive history but an “official” site dedicated to it.
Quite a festive, yet seemingly-but-not-quite-random-kind-of-holiday, Talk Like a Pirate Day [...]
