Someone find out if y is a vowel in this instance! This could be an embarrassing mistake YourPostWithNoVowels.

[–]coldvault 12 points13 points ago

It is a vowel.

Damn, he's good.

[–]IByrdl 1 point2 points ago*

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's a mistake on his part He is correct

When determining if the Y is a vowel or a consonant, the basic rule is this: When the letter serves as a vowel, and in fact sounds like one, it is a vowel

Edit: Corrected myself

[–]BoJangles00 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It is also easier to tell if it is the only 'vowel' in the syllable

[–]IByrdl 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

That actually makes a lot of sense.

[–]DigitalChocobo 0 points1 point ago

The y in "perfectly" serves as a vowel and sounds like one. He got it right.

Oh shit at first I thought this was some kind of statement that the character "o" on computer screens is just assembled out of little squares, whereas the ideal "o" is perfectly round. And as part of some kind of idealist typographical cult, you could not desecrate the perfection of the the platonic "o" by constructing a perfect, round character out of squares.

[–]OmNamahShivaya 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

but if each square represents a point, and a line (what circles are usually depicted as, a continuous line) is just a set of infinite points, then does it really matter? Your mind will fill in the space between each point.

looking at this tripping balls makes me feel like all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There's no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves.

False. These are merely arrangements of squares in a circular pattern. A true perfect circle is physically impossible.

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES IS THIS IMAGE GOING TO BE POSTED? SERIOUSLY. THIS ISN'T A REPOST, IT'S AN ANCIENT RELIC. IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS BEFORE YOU ARE EITHER:

  1. 12 years old or younger. Welcome to the internet, you are everything wrong with it.

  2. 45 years or older and send your relatives the same tired, worn out jpegs that have been passed around via email for the last 10 years. That means you Aunt B.

  3. Soon to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's.

I love a good repost, but honestly, I know that this image has been on the front page 3 times in the past month at the very least. This is just getting out of hand.
