The Letter People - Mr. Y as a Consonant and Vowel

From episode 36 of "The Letter People" - Mr. Y as a Consonant and Vowel

Mr. Y, frustrated that he only gets to start words, and that there are only a few words which actually start with Y, complains that he's bored. This promps Miss I to agree to let Mr. Y share her sounds when he does not start a word.

I always wondered about that guy...girl. Since he isn't really either a vowel or consonant. Kinda funny they have the letters B and I there since he's undecided =P

LOL, I never realized that!

Mr. Y is bi?

My wife and I were talking about this last night, and we were wondering if, since the vowel/consonant distinction is gender-coded, the implication is that Mr. Y swings both ways...

[Nulono]

I'm sure I could find a word where a Y in the middle is a consonant.

Also. Y is a vowel more often.

After the show covered two- and three-syllable words, they should have introduced Mr. Y's other vowel sound...borrowed from Miss E. :-)

For some reason, the Mr. M in this episode looks a little off from the one in episode 1.

When I first saw this episode on TV, I was a little confused. Mr. G was using Mr. J's sound when they made the word, gym. But 2 episodes later, it showed the story on how Mr. G got to borrow Mr. J's sound. I wondered if they aired these episodes out of order.

Mr. Y should realize that he can use two vowel sounds in more advanced words.
