You've always wanted to speak like a pirate did, haven't you? Of course you haven't. But if you think that you ever will want to, this is a good opportunity to grab a very highly rated book that claims to tell you how to do it.

It's The Pirate Primer: Mastering the Language of Swashbucklers and Rogues, by George Choundas. This 480-page ebook is rated a super 4.6 stars, from 97 reviews, at Amazon, and is $9.99. It's in the Kindle mobi format form there. It's available from WarGameVault today for only $6.00. It's available there in the ePub format.

The current, discount price at Amazon for the book is $9.99. Ereaderiq.com shows that Amazon's price has been, at most, only a dollar or two cheaper, at times, and that goes all the way back to the middle of 2012. If you think that you'll ever want to speak like a pirate, this is the time to grab this book that purports to tell you how.

Now WarGameVault is a gamer's website. I'm into game-playing about like I'm into reading fiction--I don't enjoy it. However, I monitor the WarGameVault's "Deal of the Day," for you, because they sometimes have books that people other than gamers might like. I think that this might be one of those books.

At this moment now, there are just over 17 hours before today's "Deal of the Day" at WarGameVault expires.

I've waited until now to give you the book's description, taken from WarGameVault's "Deal of the Day" webpage.

Description:
Ebbry-blastin'-theng ye needs must know-oo to lay tongue liker aargh-thentic pirate, by the devil's twisted tail.

Take a tour through the world of piracy with the only authoritative work on the pirate language. A comprehensive course in pirate vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and syntax, The Pirate Primercontains three centuries of distinctive terms and usages uttered by (and attributed to) pirates in film, TV, literature, and history.

Discover more than 100 pages of threats, curses, oaths, insults, and epithets; 31 types of pirate drink; 60 different pirate terms for "woman"; 67 kinds of pirate torture and punishment; 44 distinct definitions of "aargh"; and more.

Each entry in the Primer is accompanied by an excerpt, so you can see the words and phrases used in proper context by actual pirates. And each linguistic concept is introduced by a related anecdote or narrative account, so you can live the language while you learn it.

Whether you're simply fascinated by the culture of the Brethren of the Coast or you fancy yourself a modern-day corsair, The Pirate Primer is your guide to authentic pirate speak. Should you ever stare down Davy Jones and he demands proof that you're one who flies no flag, despair not.

You'll be able to talk the talk, and no mistake.
