> What is a cram school?
It's a vocational establishment, like 'plumber school' or 'ninja school', where people learn to cram.
You've heard those stories about how in Japan, during rush hour, subway stations have white-gloved attendants to shove the last few people onto the train, to avoid any of the people in question having to be rude enough to push in? Well, those people are crammers. They learned their trade in cram school.
It's an increasingly popular career, but it's mostly taken up by young people who are failing at the academic subjects in school. They're young and fit, so they can cram more or less anyhone who comes along, and also Japanese society looks down on them because they couldn't get into a good university, so they're perfect for the professional scapegoatery - being rude on other people's behalf - that modern cramming entails.

The guy deserves everything he gets. You can argue piracy until you're blue in the face, but there's absolutely no excuse for attempting to profit from it.

Not if hes a dying pirate. Pirate Vocab 101 says you are allowed to place a g and multiple h's on the end in such cases.
Honestly, did you even GO to your classes, excel?

Not if he's talking about "Castle Aaaaarrrrrrggghhh", the final resting place of the holy grail....not that that has anything to do with pirates, or nintendo.
I just like saying Monty Python quotes in comments.
