I don't know how you fags learned vowels, but this is what we were taught in elementary school:

"A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y"

A vowel is anything that has an "open" sound (does not require contact between your tongue, lips, or the roof of your mouth). No word in the english language has a completely closed sound. Therefore, it is impossible to make a sentence (or even a word) without any vowels.

I would further posit that a necessary component of language is vowel sounds; without them we would not be able to achieve any sort of volume (try talking really loud; which parts of words are louder? The consanants or the vowels? It's the vowels, because they are just an open shout and can be extended and therefore amplified).

It's virtually impossible to write a convential sentence (note: '15.', for example, could be considered a sentence, right?) without vowels.

Don't you people get it? Every word in the English language has at least one vowel in it. Therefore, it's impossible to write a sentence without vowels.

A, E, I, O, U, and sometimes Y.

That's czech, doesn't count. Unless you want me to use other czech/yugoslavian phrases, because vowels are completely optional over there.

haha, we got schools, its just that we get taught things like history, and geography.

" [Y] ..is sometimes called a 'semivowel' because it is made in a similar way to a vowel, but functions in contrast to vowels when used in words.) 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."

i suppose you can have half a point.

I've come across people that believe that the letter "w" can be a vowel sometimes.

I don't quite understand.
