You've only just found out about that?

[Sipex]

I can see that, I didn't find out about it until about a month ago.

I tried using Pirate and Leet speak and it was just too frustrating. I'm too accustomed to English.

[grimbold]

ouch:smallfrown:

[Sipex]

Don't let comments like that get you down, people tend to think that once they know something everyone should know it. It's a flawed view.

[RabbitHoleLost]

Well, it normally is.
Except that there have been articles and such all over the internet about it :smalltongue::smallwink:

[Icewalker]

There have? I've never seen any kind of article about it or anything. I forget where I heard about it, I think from a friend. But Pirate is definitely the best language setting on facebook. :smallbiggrin:

[Sipex]

That viewpoint always irked me, I'm always tempted to go off on a tirade whenever someone goes "OMG, you didn't know that?"

I mean seriously, you probably don't know everything I know but I'm not going to ridicule you just because you don't know it. Unless we live in a world where the information should be implanted into our heads at birth I'm not going to expect you to know everything just because I already know it.

[Haruki-kun]

Unless we live in a world where the information should be implanted into our heads at birth...

Which is what facebook is trying to do! We're all doomed! :smalleek:

[Thufir]

Thing is, it's not that I assume everyone knows it because I know it.
But I'm pretty sure everyone I know on facebook knows it as well. And I know it's been around for a while. I know various people have enthused about it, and thus the knowledge will have spread. So all my experience of the Pirate language option on facebook indicates that it's old news. When I see 'Best Facebook Trick Ever!' I expect new news. But obviously to grimbold this is new. Hence, I am surprised.

[dehro]

I hardly ever use facebook, especially now that I've just found out my old classmates want to organize a reunion I have no interest in going to..
and no, I didn't know about it.

[Syka]

I've alternated between American English, Pirate, and Leet for 3 or so years now. Google has a similar option. No Pirate, but there is stuff like Elmer Fudd, et al.

[RandomNPC]

I'm not surprised that you just found out about it, I'm surprised that this is prety much a copy paste from one of my friends recent updates....

I pirated about a week after I signed up, and it told everyone I changed my language.

[Mauve Shirt]

Yeah, the pirate setting has been around for a while. I'm pretty sure there have been other threads in the playground saying that pirate language is the best thing about facebook.

I thought Google also had Pirate. I didn't know that it was a language option for Facebook, but that's probably because I'm the only person on the internet who doesn't have a Facebook.

Me neither.

[Science Officer]

Awesome! Although, talking like a Norse Viking would be far better.

3. Take a drink
4. Declare "For Odin, For Asgard!"

*Changes settings*

*Sees no difference from ordinary settings*

*Concludes that grimbold doesn't hold what he promises*

[Sipex]

I think he needs some caveats. Good places to start would be.

1) You must be required to actually enjoy facebook currently. This sort of thing doesn't work if you already dislike it or find it uninteresting.

2) You must be entertained by the idea of a system like this circumventing the idea of 'language' with some made up languages as well.
