The day is marked on the calendars of all pirates who wish to pay homage to their land-living counterparts. On the 20th of September, pirates put aside their unique lingo, in hopes that they will sound more like a landlubber. On International Talk Like A Landlubber Day, pirates world-wide replace their words with much more dumbed down versions. Words like "Aye" and "Ahoy maties" are replaced with words like "Hello" and "Good day".
