Aargh, Matey, we be off on the rolling main this day to see what plunder we can grab [as my T-shirt says, “Work is for those who don’t know how to Plunder”.]
(I wonder if the First Mate remembered the cannonballs - they were on the shopping list ? )
‘To err is human, but to ARRRGH is to talk like a pirate.’

you sound like pirates, but you punctuate like teachers…
The boy stood on the burning deck ,
holding an empty bucket ,
he was no good at fighting fire
So he shouted out “Oh dear”

Sir Henry Morgan (Harri Morgan in Welsh; ca. 1635 – 25 August 1688) was a Welsh privateer, pirate and admiral of the English navywho made a name for himself during activities in the Caribbean, primarily raiding Spanish settlements. He earned a reputation as one of the most notorious and successful privateers in history, and one of the most ruthless among those active along the Spanish Main. from the Wiki.
It follows that Cap’n Henry was an educated man, ergo its ok to punctuate like teachers. QED

He is right on three counts .
Punctuation assists in the understanding of wot is wrote
Sir Henry was an ancestor of mine and became the Governor of Jamaica as a reward for pilfering on
behalf of his fellow countrymen and HM the Queen . Now , if it ain’t clever to have fun and earn from
so doing , I know not wot is .

And, you get to have Errol Flynn play you on on the silver screen, and have a rum named after you. Life is good.
