A bad joke

What's a pirate's favourite programming language?
"Arrrr!" (R)
You'd think so! But it's actually "Sea" (C)!

Another bad joke

What's a pirate's favourite field including the integers?
ℝ!
You'd think so! But it's actually ℂ

Even more bad jokes!

What's a pirate's least-respected intellectual property mark?
®!
You'd think so! But it's actually ©

Please think of the poor horse!

What's a pirate's least favourite letter to fill in the gaps in the phrase "Do you think we'll ever be _aptured? We'd best be _unning if we don't want to find out."
C!
You'd think so! But it's actually R!

An old one, but I feel moved to make sure you've already heard it:

Piece of nine! Pieces of nine!

Ah, sorry, parrotty error.

I especially like the way you've carefully left open the possibility that a pirate's favourite field of all might be one with a nonzero characteristic :-)
