"W" is a vowel, in certain circumstances! I cite "GrammerGirl" - if that is not an authoritative source, I don't know what is.

But....but....this is what GrammerGirl the Authoritative Source said in the fine print:
So to sum up, the only time you can truly say that W represents a vowel is in those rare Welsh borrowings, such as "cwm." Y, on the other hand, gets to represent a vowel in many more words. It represents short I in words like "gym," and either short I or long E in words like "happy." It represents a diphthong in words like "by."
In my professional guestimation, you and Cindy are both guilty of making posts that contain no food ending with a vowel. I'm calling Shenanigans, everyone get your brooms!
