What does this mean? What's the rule?

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Vowels are A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y

[–] elbarto777@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago (2 children)

So by the wheel of fortune rules, Rythm has a vowel, so this word does not fit the criteria of having no vowels, correct? That's what makes me confused about the "only by wheel of fortune rules" comment, which seems to imply that "Y" is a consonant, but they're not saying that.

By wheel of fortune rules, y is always a consonant. But by typical rules of English, y is a vowel in rhythm.

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh wheel of fortune says y never acts as a vowel, but in English rules y is sometimes a vowel. My bad I misunderstood!

I got it now. Thanks!
