Town Application: Rivercrest

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.

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.

Correct bowser, another example would be 'honor'.

Yotta, copy pasta much? Wink

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.
