    Re: Vowels

    In some languages, W is sometimes considered a vowel (like Y is in English), so I don't think you could win your bet using the Welsh words.

      Did a mod just double post? What's going on with this world?! You're supposed to be setting an example!

          Actually the language loophole is a good idea. It does have a vowel in it but it isnt an english vowel. I can at least keep my money, I dont think I'll earn any, but I can get out of the bet. Thanks for the help. Oh and bender5 f**k off.

            In addition to onomatopoeia, there are also proper nouns. Other than that, everything that could be thought of is either not English or not a real word.

              All english words have vowels... although I think there's some long words with only 1 vowel

              such as STRENGTH

                lol, you lost your bet, unless you exploit the loophole, in which case you STILL probably lost because your friend won't have it.

                      In all technicality the word nth is in webster's dictionary. As in raising something to the nth power. Mathematical term, hardly a word, but still it exists

                            Just because a word you see exclusively on the Internet doesn't mean it cannot be a word in the English language. There are a lot of things we say that aren't even grammatically correct or words in our daily lives, yet we use them to communicate and people understand us.

                            Okay, here are words without vowels I can think of, I'm pretty sure y is only a vowel when it's at the end of the word, unless my 2nd grade teacher lied to us all.
