We in polite society🧐 do not say four-letter words.🤐 Very.🫣 Americans love our four-letter words though😏: yard, inch, foot, mile, pint. It explains our aversion to the metric system, doesn't it.😉

"v" is what a teacher would write on (some of 😁) my homework, as in "v good".

Can't 'y' be either a vowel or a consonant?
Quite a number of years ago, at primary school, I was taught that (in modern English) "y" falls into some strange hybrid category, entirely its own, in that it is neither a full vowel, nor, perhaps, is it considered a proper consonant.
However, some other languages seem to treat it as a vowel.
