That is one of the great questions of life...nobody really knows. It's A E I O U and SOMETIMES Y. I myself don't really consider it one but i can't speak for everyone.

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.

so perhaps Y is a serial killer...trying to get rid of all the other letters so that it will finally get the respect it deserves

haha i was just kidding, but now that i think about it, it seems like the perfect role for Y.

If Y is used, there isn't 26 people, only 21

What? Just cause there aren't as many people as letters doesn't mean that Y is automatically excluded...if that's what your trying to say

I'm not saying that, since you said that, I'm guessing you got Z or something, or maybe even Y.

Vote animorpherv1 because there are 26 letter possibilities and anyone can be anything

animorpherv1 wrote:If Y is used, there isn't 26 people, only 21

I know, but think about it, Y is either town or mafia, a 3rd party for most cases. It'd make sense to be in it, because LSU is probably going to use at least one 3rd party role in the game, and Y would be the best fit.

well he did some letters might not be used so....

what's the deal with a third party? i thought everyone was either townie or mafia

nah sometimes their are 3rd parties, like vigilantes that have their own win requirements and abilities, but we dont know if there are any
