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

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."
