A privateer, for example, a certain Sir Francis Drake, is often
a very honorable person.

A privateer basically outfits his own warship (with money from
respectable businessmen, who back him) and gets paid by taking
enemy ships as prises. A privateer is chartered by a
government. A pirate gone leggit, if you squint a bit.

Arr, but squintin' when ye only has one eye makes things dim.



Ye land lubber! A pirate has two eyes, good as yours, maybe
better. The patch, laddy, is so that one eye is used to the dark.
Makes it easier to see when you go below decks, me boy. When you are
standin' by
to repel boarders, there be no time for an eye to adjust to the dark
below, so in battle we wears a patch over one eye. When we goes
below, we flips up the patch.

We squints to see long distances in the sun.
Who's "we"? Ya got a mouse in yer pocket?

We pirates.

Whoa there, Waddling Egret! You're a piLot, not a piRate!

Shiver your timbrels.

Rots of ruck with your election.

Keep my election out of it.
