Please correct:

The fun day provides an opportunity to break out of your routine, learn some history, and celebrate a bygone era. While some simply inject an ahoy!, a blimey, a heave ho, a shiver me timbers!, or a few yo ho hos into their speech when appropriate throughout the day, others choose a next level approach that includes dressing and acting the part, in addition to a full treatment of pirate lingo infused into every conversation throughout the day.
