Pirates say “Arrr!”

Pirates say “Arrr!”, damn it: no “gh.” “Argh!” is a cry of frustration (it is, also apparently a fungeoid esoteric programming language). I keep seeing this error over and over, and as the editor of a piratical periodical, this bothers me.

Strangely enough, there’s a pirate poster at F&SF’s bank which has the same error. When I asked about it, they said they have to answer the phone that way because they’re doing some promotion. How confusing would that be, to call the bank and have them go all pirate on your ass? In any case, I corrected them. One of the tellers said “Oh, that [poster] came directly from the main office.” Sounds to me like someone at the main office needs a good keelhauling.
