Correct!
I always thought y being a vowel is debatable and depends on region and language?

Personally, I think the Americans may count it as a vowel but what the hell do they know?
'Countdown' file it under the consonants box, and they're the standard by which I measure it

I think y is classed as a semi-vowel, in rekoons example it can be considered a vowel as it sounds like a vowel "eeee" but in "yob" it would be considered a consonant.
