In English, the letter "y" can function as both a vowel and a consonant depending on its usage within a word. As a Vowel: "Y" is considered a vowel when it represents a vowel sound in a word. For instance, in words like "fly," "cry," or "myth," the "y" represents a vowel sound, acting as a vowel in those instances. As a Consonant: In other cases, such as at the beginning of words (like "yes" or "yellow") or in the middle of words where it represents a consonant sound (like "beyond" or "symbol"), "y" functions as a consonant. The classification of "y" as a vowel or consonant depends on its role in the specific word and the sound it represents within that word. read less

Poll: In the present scenario, should we learn Queen's English or Simple Spoken English? Our education system has been imparting to inculcate Queen's English, at the expense of Spoken English, in students who study English as a second language. In the melee the students are not able to deliver even one sentence when they pass out from colleges and attend job interviews. I have sailed with Europeans, South Americans, Africans and Asians. They are all good in Spoken English without Queen's English knowledge. English medium schools have multiplied exponentially, a mushroom growth, misleading parents that their children would become "English Parrots". But ground reality is just opposite. Of late even reputed News Papers, who publish articles written by famous columnists, have changed their presentation with simple English. As readers, by and large, don't have time to read papers. Only during Coffee time, they just scroll. No one is there to listen to your lecture. Communication is just sharp and crisp. It may end with SMS style in the long run.
Your opinion is quite right. Learning fluent spoken English is more essential than learning literary English. Despite criticisms on the way english is being taught and spoken in India, I have heard...
