Wednesday's Little bit Late Riddle

[firstmickey]

Go ask the first 20 people you can find and the majority will say Y is a vowel.

I'll take a survey in Disney!

Still not seeing the vowel connection.

i never think of it as but read this

"Yes, the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant! In terms of sound, a vowel is 'a speech sound which is produced by comparatively open configuration of the vocal tract, with vibration of the vocal cords but without audible friction...', while a consonant is 'a basic speech sound in which the breath is at least partly obstructed' (definitions from the New Oxford Dictionary of English, 1998). The letter Y can be used to represent different sounds in different words, and can therefore fit either definition. In myth or hymn it is clearly a vowel, and also in words such as my, where it stands for a diphthong (a combination of two vowel sounds). On the other hand, in a word like beyond there is an obstacle to the breath which can be heard between two vowels, and the same sound begins words like young and yes. (This consonant sound, like that of the letter W, is sometimes called a 'semivowel' because it is made in a similar way to a vowel, but functions in contrast to vowels when used in words.) Whether the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant is therefore rather an arbitrary decision. The letter is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role is often interchangeable with the letter I. However, the consonant sound is not consistently represented in English spelling by any other letter, and perhaps for this reason Y tends traditionally to be counted among the consonants."

too cpmplicated!!!!!

I'm not sure about the first 20 people Donna will meet in WDW, but as far as MY riddle today, Y is not a vowel........tomorrow it can be a vowel but today it's just another consonant

I wouldn't bother people when you arrive in 16 hours. It may be a little late for trivia.

[crcormier]

I'd do Friday but I'm taking the day off so I can sleep in a bit before opening night, and no-one likes a late riddle. Plus mine would be un-googleable, and no-one likes those either.

 

[crcormier]

I killed it.
