| Y is a consonant in the onset and a vowel in the coda. So in 'yes', 'yellow', 'bayou' and 'young' Y is a consonant, while in 'nary, 'bygone', 'waylaid' and 'toy' it's a vowel. This is linguistic fact. You're right about Germany ending with a vowel, but accepting Paraguay and Uruguay just plain isn't right. It's a brilliant and eye-opening quiz, but the admins need to fix these incorrect answers. |
