Jeevesが海賊に - 米Ask Jeeves

9月19日の米Ask Jeeves。ジーブスが海賊になっています。

"Talk Like A Pirate Day."という日だそうで、1995年に2人の米国人が発案したそうです。海賊のようにしゃべるのだそうです。例えばAhoy, me heartiesなら「親分たいへんだ！」みたいな。

Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday invented in 1995 by two Americans who proclaimed September 19 as the day when everyone should talk like pirates. Instead of "hello," an observer of this holiday may greet acquaintances with "Ahoy, me hearties,” for example.
