    Harr, wench, I use a different dialect, with "Yarr" and "Harr". "Harr" is used before a noun, such as "Harr, mateys!", and typically at the beginning of a sentence. "Yarr" is a general term used to express surprise or disbelief. For instance, when my left arm was amputated in a sword fight with the Queen's best, I was grammatically correct when I yelled, "Yarr!" in pain, fear, and outrage.

    Use of "Avast!" is a separate treatise.
