    It's an environmental thing. If you're around pirates all the time, you're going to pick up on their mannerisms eventually. It's like living in different regions of the United States. I grew up in Arkansas, and you'd hear "ya'll" a lot. I've lived in Arizona for 12 years now and I've adapted to "you all" or "you guys", not so much because it's proper, but because it's what everyone else says and you pick up on it.

    I took a trip back to Arkansas a few years back to catch up with some friends and listened to their accent and the way they talk and I thought to myself "This is how I used to talk?!". I even caught myself saying "ya'll" a couple times, just because I was back in my original setting and it felt natural.

    Now that that's out of the way, I will agree, reading the pirate talk was REALLY annoying. Without voice acting though, there's no way SE could better convey how they imagined those NPCs would speak. It's easy to say you could leave it to the reader's imagination, but they wanted you to know how THEY wanted it to sound.
