Pirates are able to communicate with each other in various ways, sometimes dependent on their location. There are multiple modes of speaking, which affect how the text appears on screen, and multiple channels which can be spoken on. Each channel sends the message to a different group of pirates.

[hide]History
There are four history modes: fade-overlay, small-overlay, large-overlay, and full-screen. Change between them using the history buttons, next to the chat field.
Toggle between the three 'overlay' modes using the 'scroll' icon to the right of the 'send' button. Change to full-screen (and back) using the 'window' icon to the right of the 'scroll'.
You can copy and paste history by using the full-screen chat mode. Note: if you've been playing a while, and have a large chat history, switching to full-screen may take a while, during which YPP will be unresponsive.
Filters
There are four choices of filter in the game for potentially offensive curse words, found on the Options screen: Piratification, Comicification, dropping messages with offensive content, and no filter at all. However, some substitutions always occur, including piratification of unpiratey language. These are outlined in the next section.
Substitutions
Some text will automatically substitute other text in its place or change the mode you speak in. These substitutions may need to be the first thing in the message.
Smilies: These make your pirate emote smilies (if allowed in the channel)
