1. C'mon...."o" is the one.....
It's the vowel of sensuality, of creation, of the vibration of the universe. Get with it.

5. W is really my favorite vowel.
Certainly not b/c of B/C, but as in the word "owl". It could have been spelled "owel" (like "vowel"). But instead it has two syllables but only one vowel--you figure it out.

W is truly the alternative vowel. I believe we true patriots should reclaim it from it's gross appropriation by someone not worthy of using it as a moniker.

10. This thread is a blatant discrimination of umlauts!
Just denying their existence doesn't mean these vowels have not the same right to exist!

Ä
Ö
Ü

:evilgrin:

And what about diphtongs? And the scandinavian å,æ and ø?


Actually, I prefer the German A, spoken similar to the English A in "half".
