When you get to our age do you want to "attract people to you?" I dont. I dont care if Im boring. Ive earned the right through my tremendous contribution to the community to be what I WANT to be.
Rules are for the guidance of wise men and the blind obedience of fools.

Did you know that the word ' facetious ' is the only word in the English language that uses all of the vowels, in order  ?  ;D

If you want to use Y as a vowel, then it's still in order and perish the thought of you being argumentative.
Perhaps I'm just not as well educated as you Zoony  8)

It's not a real vowel but can be used as a vowel in some specific circumstances, where it is temporarily a vowel. I would say that used at the end of a word after L/l, it is definitely a consonant.  So the original examples using all the vowels in the right order were 100% correct.  So there!

  It's also a vowel in the middle of words like 'gym' etc..

 ;D ;D I already said that. All covered by "specific circumstances".  But it was definitely a consonant in facetiously.   I'm just about to log off now [can't stand all this arguing]. See you later ;D
