RE: Town Application: Rivercrest - Android - 07-19-2011
I realize doggy, but 'an yottabyte', 'an yolk', 'an yoghurt'?
I don't think so.
Come on yotta, you couldn't catch that?
My guess is that the word 'an' is the reason 'y' is only sometimes a vowel.
And boom goes the dynamite.
RE: Town Application: Rivercrest - yottabyte - 07-19-2011
In general, the Y is a consonant when the syllable already has a vowel. Also, the Y is considered a consonant when it is used in place of the soft J sound, such as in the name Yolanda or Yoda.
In the names Bryan and Wyatt, the Y is a vowel, because it provides the only vowel sound for the first syllable of both names. For both of these names, the letter A is part of the second syllable, and therefore does not influence the nature of the Y.

Also a another point is that when the word or acronym is pronounced so that it starts with a vowel it has an. Eg. an RPG.
RE: Town Application: Rivercrest - Android - 07-19-2011
Correct bowser, another example would be 'honor'.
Yotta, copy pasta much?

Hello there Stesch, my good sir and gentleman.
I would like to join your nice and friendly town since I have heard some good things about Rivercrest from you so I hope it lives up to my expectations.
My ingame name is as follows: Sallad3n.
Thank you and good evening.

Oh happy times. It seems like you have to pay gold to keep the town alive so:
Please, any mods that would like to re-activate my town? All the people who signed on to be in the town are still here, eagerly waiting for the town to come back. I will just need to run back to town to deposit all my gold to make sure this doesn't happen again.
(Also, may want to put the "10g a week" in the guide thingy, just a suggestion)

You see children, the word 'an' must proceed another word starting with a vowel.
I realize tristo's knowledge of vowels is limited, so here's a list of the known vowels of the English language: 'a, e, i, o, and u'.
Thank you, and have a nice day.
No see, a true grammar Nazi would include 'y' and the reasons of y and how it would be used.
Silly android..

Well then, I'm just a grammar Android, omitting the useless.
