I can not help you with your question but I thought you may find interesting that when you search on google.com for 'creativeguru' your profile page is on third position Wink

Hi

"y" can be a consonant, as in 'yellow', and it can also be a vowel as in 'my'. It is for that reason that "y" is called a sem-vowel.

“in [E]nglish there is no word without vowel, is this true?”
Yes.  It's true.  (Note that a vowel is a sound, not a letter.)
