Mentally, he cringed at the butchering of grammar and language. Standard was a fine language, easy to learn and not so hard to understand with various accents (his own included), but it was also easy to twist into this awful vernacular Kirk, his crew, and most of their like-minded professionals preferred using.
It made him cringe even more because he knew perfectly well that Kirk was capable of proper constructs. Would he be any less of a pirate if he didn't speak like one?

He always allowed Kirk to deal with whoever to gain their rightful profit, sometimes accompany him on the sale if the environment made him uneasy. Spock preferred to avoid those that might recognize him (though he hardly blended in), and when dealing with money, the probability always increased tenfold.
