if it means something to you, good.

If not, do not reg.

I have no idea why anyone would want it when there are still so many good unregistered .US names....Unless of course the guy's name is Ty and he works for Hewlett-Packard.

Seems to be the Texas Youth Hunting Program. I'm not sure if they are hunting youths or the youths are doing the hunting.

As far as I know the only english word that does not contain a vowel is rhythm.

if you are attempting a misspell of type... please do not reg.

'Y' is sometimes considered a vowel, but if you're not counting it, how about sky and spy?

Sky and spy are actually NOT examples of "y" as a vowel.
Try myth... that is a correct example.

Sorry I've deflected the thread with my rhythm, and of course there are quite a few words. My favourite is the word I use for the internet which is styx. It started as a joke, but it seems to be becoming the truth.

I'm not an English major, but I disagree. Why do you say the letter 'Y' is not a vowel in sky and spy? When a word has only one vowel and the vowel is at the end of the word, the long vowel sound is usually the only one heard, and this is one of the places where "Y" becomes a vowel. Other examples:

by, why, fry, cry, fly, my, dry, spry, try.

Prove me wrong.

You're correct. In myth or hymn it is clearly a vowel. In words such as my, sky, it stands for a diphthong (a combination of two vowel sounds).

Even though it represents diphthong, it is still a vowel. I was going for the more clear cut example, but you are correct!!!!!
