Sorry, Pete. My grandmother was an English teacher. We didn't get away with anything (good grammar and spelling were expected).

Whether the letter Y is a vowel or a consonant is therefore rather an arbitrary decision.
The letter is probably more often used as a vowel, but in this role is often interchangeable with the letter I. However, the consonant sound is not consistently represented in English spelling by any other letter, and perhaps for this reason Y tends traditionally to be counted among the consonants.

"English" English uses 'Y' as a vowel - Ex: Tyres
American English does not. We spell it Tires. So "Y & W" are technically correct, but not commonly used in this country.
