Arrrrrrrr, ye Skype "talk like a pirate" language file

To celebrate the [International Talk Like A Pirate Day](http://www.talklikeapirate.com), 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](http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=64398). Just [download the file](http://forum.skype.com/index.php?act=Attach&type=post&id=6523) and then in Skype, click “Tools”, “Change Language”, “Load Skype Language File”. Click on the picture to see the larger texts, shipmate.

    A short pirate story – in 1607 a crew of Algerian pirates raided the village of Baltimore, West Cork. They raped and pillaged before capturing many women into slavery. Only the fair, English settlers were taken – the local women were spared because of their fiersomeness. Poem by Thomas Osborne Davis – http://www.baltimore-ireland.com/heritage/sackpoem.html.
