Y is a vowel.
Ah, when i went to school it was only A.e.i.o.u that were the vowels.
Y is only sometimes a vowel: when it forms a vowel sound in a word.
In the case of "dry, crypt and dryly", we could perhaps spell them "drie, cript and drielee" if we wish to see where those more familiar vowel sounds exist in those words.
Yeah, I've been reading up on it since the previous commentator drew my attention to it. Odd the bits of eduction you miss in life.
