Description

This will turn any text into Pig Latin, but will disregard punctuation marks!

Example: /pl{This script is cool!}
returns: isThay criptsay is oolcay

http://www.snowcrest.net/donnelly/piglatin.html has the rules to the script, here they are:

Any word beginning with a vowel has "way" affixed to the end
Any 1 or 2 letter word is ignored
"Sh" "th" and similar consonant combinations are sent to the back instead of just "s" ot "t"

Changes in 1.2
I made the script so there is no beginning space.

Changes in 1.1
Now "interesting" comes out as "interestingway" instead of "nterestingway" as it was in 1.0

BTW Code used from "igpay atinlay" from malcolmadams.com/te/scripts/scripts06.shtml

Good idea, but it does not seem to always work. e.g.: apple=appleway, go fish=go ishfay

look at the rules to the right, the vowel starting ones use the snowcrest one -->

Hmmm. Now that I look at the rules you put down, I am noticing that they are not the same as the ones I have always used. Let me Google this.....

Well, it looks like there are more then one way to do pig latin, and that one is one of the main ones.
