It’s so weird when people get weird about “y” being a vowel or not when any time it makes the “e” or “I”sound it is a vowel. (Any, try, anything ending in -y or -ly)

A vowel isn’t a vowel because it is aeiou, it is because it makes a vowel sound.

Change my mind: R is a vowel.

  • sugar
  • water
  • stir
  • motor
  • femur

The end of these words are all pronounced the same, despite having different vowels placed before the R. The vowels are essentially silent, and R is doing all the heavy lifting.
