I've been to Fort Wayne before, it surprises me that the author even knew how to write (although it was taken from the library)..

Note it took two tries to get the spelling right on the fourth word; Fort Wayne is still no literary mecca.

It's called pig latin. It's usually used by tweeny-bopper girls who dont want younger ears to understand their language. I dont live in Fort Wayne, but what a blanket statement from Jeff and Heidi.

I laughed so hard at Brit in CA that I peed a little.

I laughed a lot harder at Alle in alabama. Do we really need Brittany's superiority involved in this.

In my book there is a kid who only speaks Igpay Atinlay, his name is AlvinCay, this reminds me of him, Iyay amay oingay otay avehay ayay olewhay apterchay inay Igpay Atinlay.

Easy Reader in Sesame Street
Marina, don't write a whole chapter of a book in pig latin- that would be terribly annoying. After the first paragraph the reader will want to move on.

Emily in neverland
I need one of these
+ November 29, 2007 09:50 PM +
... in agreement
Marina, I think the pig latin chapter would be way too much. It's not that easy to read, really...much better as a spoken language.

Actually, Fort Wayne has the second biggest genealogy department in the world and our downtown library is one of the best 10 in the United States...

I'm from the Fort, and this made my day.

I only ever knew the Spanish version of piglatin growing up (since I only spoke, *dun dun* Spanish, and not English!), but I have since forgotten it...

I should re-learn!
