Says you. I can read backwards, upside down and sideways with little trouble. But I have to stop and think about pig latin words; especially with all the variants.
The simplest way to remember that is that if the word starts with more than one consonant, you move ALL the starting consonants to the end and add “ay”. That’s why “scram” becomes “amscray” instead of “cramsay”. Since you’ve moved all the starting consonants to the end, the word now begins with a vowel. And, as Knighttrap pointed out, if the word starts with a vowel in the first place, you leave it alone and just add “way” at the end. So if you’re speaking Igpay Atinlay correctly, all the words will start with vowels.
So yes, what Shelly says in the last panel is proper Pig Latin.
What kind of secret language is that Shelly uses?

Dern comments don’t seem to like foreign languages like igpay atinlay….

same for me. i dont think you are supposed to add “ay” to words that start with a vowel though, so it through me off doubly
Pig Latin gets me so confused. I do know that if it starts with a vowel you are suppose to at way to the end. Other than that I get really confused.

arjay, for vowel words, the rule I learned was to add “way” – as Knighttrap said.
