    With all due respect, the pinnacle of pirate parlance and pronunciation was no other than Robert Newton.

    http://www.mooncove.com/newton/impers.htm

    Mr. Newton is etched on my memory since the show was run a whole lot when I was a youngster. I believe that he set the standard for pirate talkin'.

    But one of my favorite lines from a pirate movie remains James Mason's rebuke to the boarding pirates from Yellowbeard: "One pet per pirate; parrots preferred."

    Wow -- a whole site dedicated to Robert Newton! I can't wait to show my Dad!

    Not to hijack the thread, but my all-time favourite Robert Newton movie is this one:

    But he will always be Long John Silver to me.
