Disemvoweling

[BlissMarie]

Haha, I really like this idea! Perhaps it has been mentioned here before, but I ran across it late last night, for the first time.

I can just imagine some of the stratics mods, mousie weapon in hand, skillfully disemvoweling offending posts!

One way the urban dictionary defines disemvowel is:
"To remove the vowels from a piece of text as a form of censure. In order to render the piece more difficult to read. Generally done by the moderator of an online community."

I think there are lots of things in global chat that could use to be disemvoweled.

y is a vowel

 

[RaDian FlGith]

y is a vowel

Only sometimes. For instance, in the word "yellow," or the word "you" as used above, it's a consonant.

 

[hen]

Y is not a vowel.

 

[Petra Fyde]

y is a vowel

But in which language?

In myth and rhyme and rhythm it is, in yellow and yodel and yesterday it's not.
But that's only in English. What is it in Danish? or German? or French?

btw 'urban dictionary' is not a recognised source of accurate information.

[Lord Chaos]

Rather depends on whether its a written or pronounced vowel. When pronounced as [j], its not a vowel, but it is written still.

The rule is rather long and obscure...it doesn't matter and its about as useful a discussion as trying to have sex with a fly.

There's a danish saying when you're discussing little irrelevant/petty things, its called "screwing a fly"

That's hilarious actually.

The way I learned it was vowels are a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y. The "sometimes" is when it is typically the first letter of a word - as shown in the examples. Thus RaDian is correct.

a,e,i,o,u = vowels.

y = not a vowel.

I've never met him, but I knew I liked him for some reason.

Old School = vowels are a, e, i, o, u and sometimes y and w.

Say it out loud, it rhymes.

 

[Beer_Cayse]

Oxford Dictionaries (paragraphing only to make it more clear) says:

Is the letter Y a vowel or a consonant?

The letter Y can be regarded as both a vowel and a consonant. In terms of sound, a vowel is 'a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction...', while a consonant is 'a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed'.

The letter Y can be used to represent different sounds in different words, and can therefore fit either definition. In myth or hymn it's clearly a vowel, and also in words such as my, where it stands for a diphthong (a combination of two vowel sounds). On the other hand, in a word like beyond there is an obstacle to the breath which can be heard between two vowels, and the same sound begins words like young and yes. (This consonant sound, like that of the letter W, is sometimes called a 'semivowel' because it is made in a similar way to a vowel, but functions in contrast to vowels when used in words.)

Whether the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant is therefore rather an arbitrary decision. The letter is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role it's often interchangeable with the letter I. However, the consonant sound is not consistently represented in English spelling by any other letter, and perhaps for this reason Y tends traditionally to be counted among the consonants.

Linky.

At Ask Answers (this link) you will find these two snippets for the question "When is Y a vowel?" and I have included the misspelling of "vowel' as 'vowell':

Glad you asked...
A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y is a saying that is taught in elementary school when learning the vowels. Y is a vowel when the word doesn't contain an A, E, I, O or U like in the word sky.

Then again, this answer might help you...
Well, vowells are actually sounds not letters and when a letter makes the sound of a vowell, it can then be a vowell. "Y" is usually a vowell when it sounds like"i", as in the word "try".

Thus it can be either vowel or consonant - based on usage. Thus it is not explicitly either.

Hmm... I think this works. Do you think he can tell I was fussing at him? I think I'm safe. =)

Actually that's pretty dead-on.

So you go from #2 to #1. Most times that's a good thing!

Your opinion has been noted and allocated its usual value.
Thank you.

Nice, Petra! I'm glad you ordered it. It will probably bring you many smiles.
That wasn't a bad delivery time for a personalized item.
