How to Spell Pirate Argh?

Pronounced also as “Yarrr!” and “Arg!”, the word “Arrr!” is traditionally said by pirates when responding "yes" or when expressing excitement.

Did pirates actually say argh?

But while many pirates and mariners did hail from the West Country—so you might have heard an "arr" here or there—most did not, so the majority of pirates almost certainly didn't speak like Newton's Silver, Woodard added.

How is Argh written?

Since writers rarely permute the ordering of the letters (e.g. "ARGHGR!"), most instances of "argh" can be expressed as a 4-tuple, where each value is the number of times each letter is repeated. So "argh" is (1,1,1,1), "aargh" is (2,1,1,1), and so on.
