Y

I like y. I think I like it as a vowel better.

It's both at once. Duh.

TELL ME YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!

Actually, upsilon would be a more appropriate replacement since when you transliterate, at least from Attic Greek, the upsilon often becomes a y.

yeah but lambda is simply a cooler letter :3
Also sampai should replace the letter f
λ & ϡ = <3
:p

It's a vowel in Norway, so I don't get to pick. :/

I could betray my country and say consonant though, yeah... maybe I will! :mad2:

Norway<-- vowel
betray<- vowel
my<- vowel
country<- vowel
say<- vowel
yeah<- consonant
maybe<- vowel

It's a vowel. An awesome vowel that tricks people into thinking it's a consonant.

How else can words like syzygy exist?

I disagree! Most of those things where it's considered a vowel to you are a consonant to me.

:p

I prefer the term 'semivowel' in that on occasion it's a vowel, a consonant or even both (as in it could be seen either way).

Try replacing it with the letter i and see if you still think it's a consonant :)

e.g.: way -> wai as in, "no wai!"

Every y in syzygy is used as a vowel.
You Yanks and your yapping yams.

P.S. Where is Yamaneko I miss him greatly.

It is the vertical co-ordinate and chromosone which makes males

The letter Y and its subordinate y both contradict my religion, so I refuse to believe that either of them exist.

Y is just a half-assed method of making the 'i' sound a lot of other languages use.

It's always a vowel to me! <3

Y is a decent enough letter and that's all that matters.
