She just started feeling better yesterday and today. So, after heading into Manhattan for the much delayed tetanus shot (and that was anti-climatic!), I bought her a book and a toy. (The book, The Dragon Machine, is so worth the $7 it cost.)

Anyway, I was discussing something having to do with toys with Jenn later, and Ana was listening, so I Pig-Latined it: "Oy-tays".

Oy-tays? Why did I do that? Why not "oys-tay"?

Hm.

So, what, exactly, are the rules of Pig Latin where you are? Do consonant clusters get split up (plit-say instead of it-splay)? How do you deal with vowels? Is it based on spelling (unique-ay) or sound (oonique-yay)? What about other, similar codes? Tell me! Please?

Note not the missing examples and obvious blunders.

I'm in no mood for corrections.
