Y is considered to be both a vowel and a non-vowel depending on it's pronunciation. If it carries the i or e pronunciation as in sky it is considered a vowel but when it has the y pronunciation as in Yes it is not a vowel.

The old grade school teaching of vowels was:

A,e,i,o,u and sometimes y

You went to school too long ago it seems... us youngsters never learned anything about Y being a vowel (I think). :hiding:

 

[Malaikah]

That's how we were taught it as well.

I thought you were young?ffended:
