Hello all ^^

Hey

Ah, my favorite letter. So say the Wads of Wrapper, for without it I'd be the Ads of Rapper, and that sounds a bit too commercial-hip-hoppy to me.

To answer your question, sometimes a vowel. Y and W are only considered vowels when used in diphthongs, e.g. "how", "toy".

Most of the time, W, when making the "w" sound ("wet", "we"), is traditionally considered a consonant. Specifically, linguists refer to it as a glide (sometimes called a semivowel) because of the way it's pronounced, like a combination of vowel sounds. The way the "w" sound is made is similar to the way a vowel sound like "oo" is made; pronounce "oo-et" quickly, as one syllable, and you get "wet". The same goes for Y (pronounce "ee-es" as one syllable and you get "yes").

There's also the WH digraph ("whip", "what"), which is commonly pronounced as either "w" to "hw" (depending on your nationality or dialect), or sometimes as "h" ("who", "whole"). Either way, also a consonant.

Of course, my favorite W ("Wrapper", "wretched", "writer") is when it's silent. Like my farts.

I have a gig,will be back once I am done..

huh

Perhaps a letter 3 banning would be appropriate. :)

Alternatively, just remove the silly notion of written vowels from one's language. Insure that correct pronunciation becomes obsolete in future generations. Throw up a middle finger to your petty human progeny. Establish dominance over your children.

I thought we already did that ... and called it 'American Common Core Education'.

Back,for now, I am a busy lad out there in the NSiverse ^^

Just a heads-up, folks, I'm going to be swapping WA nations for a few days. Will need those endorsements back when I rejoin.

Lord Ba'al declines to comment on his disappearance and subsequent banishment from the hallowed administration offices of the Stargate government. He does, however, care to intimate the possibility of the present (or near future) Goa'uld defeat of the housekeeping staff. The Laundry department may be working overtime on scrubbing Jaffa armour. He admits that those things do get funky.

....And, back in the WA! Endorsements, please!
