Arr! Must try out this filter…
the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
The filter has also piratized my entire site. That’s some piratey fun.
WHOA! The filter be a thing of mighty goofy beauty!!! I suggest you run your whole novel through it and have your first foreign translation under your belt!! I am LOVING looking back over older posts, book cover blurbs and the like, and seeing them in Pirate, how long will this last?? Arrrr
It’ll be fer the whole day today and then revert back to normal. Except of course, for the pirate entries which will stay piratized.
Ahoy, me matey.
This is some good piratey goodness here!
Er … should that be “This be some good piratey goodness here!”
Teach me the correct piratey ways, Cap’n.
