Apart from that, it quotes bullshit. Bartholomew Roberts was only just 6 years old when Henry Morgan died after many months of illness in 1688. How could Roberts and Morgan possibly have set down a pirate code?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.178.152.59 (talk • contribs)

I don't think it means it was set down by them together. I assume it means that Morgan did some and Roberts did some. That should be clarified, if that's true. --Awiseman 18:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If I understand correctly, the whole third paragraph refers strictly to the fictional version of the code found in Disney's POTC movie trilogy, but doesn't specifiy this. Reading the article it links to (which seems to only mention the Bart & Morgan version as part of the Disney myth) also points out the conflict of dates. 207.96.176.72 17:51, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spelling

Isn't it spelt "Parlay"? Coz that's what it says on the At World's End Soundtrack — « hippi ippi » 07:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's also spelled "parlay" in the Pirata Codex featured in the film. However, dictionary.com states that "parley" is "a discussion or conference", while "parlay" is "A bet comprising the sum of a prior wager plus its winnings or a series of bets made in such a manner" coming from the French "parole". Presumably "parley" is the intended word, and "parlay" is just a mistake - Kwenn 10:18, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Closed Captioning specifies it as "parley"... ~Masquatto 06:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
