Forgive the moment of "editorial evil"....

Don't correct someone's spelling if you can't use bloody CAPITAL letters at the beginning of your sentences!!! AAAAGGGH!!! That drives me nuts!

"I couldn't resist mate"

"Boy, this shot is not ment for you"

"Now thats a nice trick, but once again you are between me and my way our. And now, you have no weapon"

"There were a lot of long words in there miss. We aren't but humble pirates"

And in the subtitles they spell Parley with a y like that. So make of it what you will.

Not an exact quote,
"...I'm sure your family will come and ransome you."
The Chinese pirate said to the hostage before he cuts off another square inch of the hostage's skin then cauterising it... from James Clavell's Tai Pan...

What is parley?? I agree with chuck on the spelling. It is either -ez or -er so "to speak" or a conjugated form of the verb in second person plural, or formal.

[Fechter1]

Parley is only derived from the french parler (to speak). Thus, the spelling has mutated to something more phonetic, which the common folk are more likely to be able to spell.

people, people, people, if you watched the deleted scenes in the movie you would know that when they say "parler" they are talking about the french verb meaning "to speak" so please spell it correctly it is acceptable to spell the word as:
Parlez
or
Parler
they are both pronounced the same.
i'mm sorry but that was irritating me.

Parley is an anglicized variant of the french verb Parler (To Speak), and has been used since Norman times to signify a negotiation or discussion (usually between noble parties). That being said, there was (and is) a lot of nautical jargon that has been derived from other languages, that was adopted by the English seaman which has since worked it's way into our vocabulary.

Read your history, People. And use your spell checker!

-----"Ahhhh... but you HAVE heard of me!"

(Sadly, the first time I saw it, I saw the line coming a mile away... it made people around me nervous that it was the premiere and I preemptively spoke half the lines coming... Sadly, most of these are things I'd normally say to people)
