Yes, wikipedia, the great source and factual place we all should trust. Oh look, I've found something on wikipedia too, quoted from the 'Words without vowels' page: "However, there are many words that do not contain a vowel letter (defined as A, E, I, O, U) in their written form. In most of these, such as try, the letter Y stands for a vowel sound. (Abbreviations such as km are not considered words in their own right.)" Y has a vowel 'sound', doesn't mean it's a vowel. If it was a vowel I would have been taught it at school as a kid, I wasn't therefore it isn't. |
Y can be a vowel, that's all there is to it.
