This is a complaint about the letter "y." People have given it too much credit by giving it consonant and vowel status. For me there will always be five vowels: a, e, i, o, and u. "Y" cannot be on both sides. It's like playing basketball for both teams in the same game. It's not fair and shouldn't be allowed. I understand that "y" is needed sometimes. Words like "sky" or "fly" use "y" as their vowel since all words need vowels in them. Let's not let "y" be a vowel and call these words "special words." They don't have vowels in them but then again all rules in English are always broken. The alphabet should be divided with a thick black line. Let vowels be vowels and consonants be consonants. Let there be no mistake on which side a letter should be.
