You know what’s cool about the letter “Y”? It’s the fact that it can be pronounced as a vowel (as in the /i/ and /ai/ pronunciation of “sky”, “lynx”, and “spy”), but it can also be pronounced as a consonant (as in “youth” and “yearning). For many of the words on the list, we’re takin on this letter’s pronunciation as a consonant with these positive words.
