I always thought y being a vowel is debatable and depends on region and language?
Personally, I think the Americans may count it as a vowel but what the hell do they know?
'Countdown' file it under the consonants box, and they're the standard by which I measure it
I think y is classed as a semi-vowel, in rekoons example it can be considered a vowel as it sounds like a vowel "eeee" but in "yob" it would be considered a consonant.
Good explanation, I'll go along with that
So that gives me a bit of leeway to include or exclude Y to make it a wee more difficult

Americans would treat "y" as a vowel in a word like "Kyren", but not in a word like "Yan". So in a missing vowel quiz, Kyren would be KRN and Yan would be YN.

I foresee the Missing Vowels Quiz descending into anarchy in the days ahead...

Who is this Yan you speak of? Never heard of him before.

Correct
that was commentary from good old John Virgo when Hendry made a maximum in the 2012 world championship 1st round match against Stuart Bingham.
