What is Y?

What is Y?

Why isn't Y just obviously a vowel or consonant?

Because in the English language we enjoy confusing people.

…Yes, ENJOY.

At least, that the only reason I can think of.

I personally think that what happened was that the letters V and I got married and had Y.

If you look closely, you can see the family resemblance.

Y got V's head and I's leg.

See it?

Yup, that is the story of Y.

It's a vowel and a consonant, depending on its mood.

Or something like that, I guess.

It ought to be a vowel, because we have less of those.

We really just want to confuse people learning English.

Why?…because we can.

It's just one of those things that outrages my orderly, wordy, spelling and grammer-loving soul.

I would rebel by using no Y's ever again, but that's too hard. I talk so much that I need every letter for variety.

Oh, well.

That's life!

I suppose.
