In the line of 7th Guest and its "Shy gypsy slyly spryly tryst by my crypt" puzzle, let's see what's the largest sentence we can build using only one vowel. Symbols are allowed, but words with same pronunciation and diferent vowels aren't.

That's all! Wanna start?

DrJones, it might be a good idea to invisible the first line of your post, as it spoils one of the harder puzzles in "The 7th Guest"

Sorry, Antrax! (Doh!)

Do you know why old loony toons, who don't cook good food, took so long to cross moon on snowy noon.

Hey, don't you guys remember? A,E,I,O, and sometimes U and Y? =P

aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh.

I guess I missed the you, but y is a not a vowel...so there should
be NO problem in using y with any other vowel.

Replacing the you in the sentence :

Do mom know why old loony toons, who don't cook good food, took so long to cross moon on snowy noon.

Quailman · His Postmajesty

The Y in 'you' is a consonsant. The Y's in 'why', 'snowy', and 'loony' are vowels.

Marvin · Pseudo-Yank

Back in Blighty we were taught 'Y' was a consonant. It was the continentals that had the daft modern ideas about Y being a vowel.

Sofis · Beautiful and Decadent

I've always found it seriously odd when people claim y is not a vowel, just because it's often used as a consonant in English. Clearly, it's a vowel when used as a vowel. You do know the difference between a vowel and a consonant, don't you?
