Last night, my friend showed me something on Facebook that will consume even more of my time. And no, I’m sorry, it’s not a secret way to change your layout back to the old Facebook, so suck it up and accept it. (Besides, I like the new look, so I wouldn’t tell you even if I knew a secret way.)
One holiday among the many you may have missed this September (International Day of Peace, Neither Rain Nor Snow Day, and Elephant Appreciation Day), is the International Talk Like a Pirate Day, celebrated every year on September 19.
(The new) Facebook has added a new language feature to raise awareness for this important cause affecting millions around the world… and it’s way better than that stupid Ninjas vs. Pirates game everyone keeps inviting me to.
That’s right, you can change the official language (bottom-left corner of your profile) of your Facebook page from English, French, Chinese, or whatever… to Pirate.
Some fun translations I found in my short time playing around with the feature so far…
