    Ok my dear one has spilled the beans on how to change your facebook language into 'Pirate'.

    Scroll down the very very very bottom of your facebook page and you should see a link to languages - mine says English (UK) but yours could be English (US) for instance. Click on that and one of the options is English (Pirate).

    have fun!!

    I love this challenge idea! I can't believe I heard about talk like a pirate day here before my husband mentioned it. He usually keeps me apprised of these things. We are all in the pirate spirit here as we plan and prepare for our pirate themed Halloween party next month. This is going to be so much fun! I really must get to bed, but will post about this first thing in the morning and leave you a link.
