Cool “Easter Egg” In Facebook…Become A Facebook Pirate In Two Easy Steps
My good friend Kelly told me about this “Facebook Secret” and I have to admit it’s hilarious AND I’m going to share it with you (in case you haven’t found it yet)… Facebook has allowed a BETA language called English (Pirate) and it changes quite a bit of the Facebook text from standard English to Pirate “lingo”.
Here are a few of the gems:
-
What be troublin’ ye?
-
Make yer mark
-
This be pleasin’ to me eye
-
4 scallywags be enjoyin’ this
-
1 grog fest sighted from the Crow’s Nest
-
Mates Y’might Know
-
Shinin’ treasures
-
Stash belowdecks
-
Thar be more
Here’s the “how to”:
Step 1:
First scroll all of the way down to the bottom of yer “Home Port”.
Find the “Facebook (c) 2009 English (US)” link at the bottom, lower-left corner:
Click it!
Step 2:
Select English (Pirate) Beta from the popup list and click OKAY!
That’s it! Now ye be a Facebook pirate, Arghh!
Hope you have fun with it… I did.

I noticed this a while ago! It's a lot of fun, although it takes some getting used to to click the button that says “Divvy spoils t' all ye' mateys!” when I want to post on someone's wall!
I've been using this little Easter egg for the past two years. Generally I find it very entertaining, but at times it can be confusing for myself and others. After I'd been using English (pirate) for about a year I forgot that facebook had this thing called a “wall”. I kept talking about people writing on my “plank” and no one had any idea what I was talking about.
However, I think the amusement benefits far exceed any confusion.
