Yes... grade school English lessons clearly.

Am I missing something?

When I went to school, the letter "W" was also a possible vowel (along with the sometimes "Y" rule). Reading this thread, I worried my memory might be failing me, so I found the explanation/proof of my declaration at the following link. Have at it!

Y is considered a vowel for those who do not own a true CVCV and trying to sell their domain for more than it really is worth.
