I spent a part of my classtime today trying to translate a comment on my last post. I think it was in spanish and I think it may be helpfull

Working 2

Do me a favor and take a few seconds to write down five things that come to your mind when you think of piracy. Now look at your list, do you have anything about software piracy or bootlegged copies of movies and music? Did you have anything about rogues swinging on ropes, with a patch over one eye, a parrot on their shoulder, and yelling “Arrrr” while threatening you with a rusty cutlass? How about Johnny Depp?

I would be curious to see how many people wrote down speedboats, machine guns, grenade launchers, Global Positioning Systems, and it all happening yesterday, today and tomorrow?

There are still pirates prowling the waters in search for “booty”. But these pirates are nothing like what is seen in the movies. In fact, modern pirates are even more dangerous than their famous predecessors, Blackbeard and Kidd. Modern day pirates stalk the port towns and trading straights for any seafaring prey. They board unsuspecting ships and steal anything they can get their hands on, ranging from a bucket of paint and a piece of rope to the ship itself.

As said before, modern pirates are not anything like the pirate who roamed the seas in yesteryear. Romantic stories of exciting men forcing their way through daring adventures and impossible escapes
