      In the future they’ll just censor all of the verbs, nouns, and adjectives.

      Or, in modern parlance, “In the f*ture th*y’ll just c*ns*r all of the v*rbs, n**ns and adj*ctives.”

      The star will be the only vowel. Eventually they’ll just drop it all together and English will be only consonants. Children will ask “nn gndrd prnt fgr, why ds th kybrd hv ths xtr fnny lttrs?” And no one will know the answer.

              So I had a minute of boredom and looked it up.

              As it turns out, much like I before E, the “sometimes” rule we learned as children is the fucking opposite of truth.

              Y is a consonant when it makes the “yuh” sound in words like yellow and yak.

              It’s literally always a vowel otherwise.

            It’s a vowel when you can pronounce the sound without moving your lips
