lol good job.. how about the other form lurkers?
and isn't 'Y' technically a vowel?

I think it's a special type vowel. Honorary vowel if you like. And, as i've just found out, vowels are sounds rather than letters of the alphabet.

here is one I learned today

cwm: noun: A steep bowl-shaped mountain basin, carved by glaciers. Also known as cirque.

who knew.. thought I'd share, interested in more though..

:w:


Why.........sorry - couldn't resist it.
 
shhhhhh that's a word without a vowel
 
Official English words always have vowel sounds but I do know of one word which does not have the letters A, E, I, O, U, or Y: "crwth". (It rhymes with "booth".) It means "crowd", and given that they both start with "cr" and are five letters long I suspect it may be a variant of the word carried over from Middle English.
