Hinty hint-hint: This really is a very simple cryptogram. However, I've added a twist to turn it into a difficult one. If it wasn't for this, it would probably have been solved in 5 minutes.

Nice solving ralphmerridew! Just out of interest, on a scale of 1-10, how difficult did you find the puzzle? I'm not very used to making cryptograms and I'd appreciate the feedback.

I should also add the decoded message is definitely in English. I'm not that evil Felicitous

I'd say 3, but I had seen your hint before starting. My first guess was to try ****, which wasn't any good, but when I looked again, I noticed **** and got the answer from there. And I remembered Pig Latin.

Thanks for the feedback ralphmerridew.

For those still working on it, here's another hint. Look at the first letter of every word.
