Front or back of a hat?

[Ozmundo]

Not so sure Putin would let me go there and talk sense. "Flight 333 crashes on route to Ukraine... One of the passengers understands the English language, investigations are underway, Foul play is assumed... further details to follow."

They’ll have slipped you the radioactive brew before you get that far!

As the vowel is right in the middle of “hat” it doesn’t orientate us much.

In order to avoid the original orientation issue I have decided to just wear bicorn hats.
This introduces the problem of wearing fore and aft verses athwartships.

Twist it to 45 degrees then tilt it to one side like a french beret.
I play by nobodies hat rules!

"Y" is a vowel - at least in this part of the world ....

But so is "w".
Or is it "ŵ"?

Are we having vowel issues here? May I suggest a dose of imodium?

Gosh, that joke nearly went very wrong!! Auto suggest corrected iridium to iradium ..done it again, won't correct it this time. Oops!

Hymn.

Derived from Latin, Hymnus... meaning song of praise.

Edit... After going through every word beginning with H in the Britannica Dictionary... there is one word, just one, that Starts with H and is not Followed by a Vowel... 'Hypothesis' Which upon further investigation is actually Greek (same spelling) but it was listed in the below link. (Hymn was not)
Seems the Welsh view Y as a vowel based on previous replies too.. Maybe even an L too based on how fond they are of it

The 'An' in your post came before Heretical, not hat

Biscuit Browns... the only answer to the question... 'how do i not sh.t for a week.'

Well I can think of hypotenuse, hypocritical, hypnotism, hypochondriac and hyperactive for a start.

Then hysterical, too.

It is all Greek to me....

Y is a vowel in French as well (ee-greck) - well, when it's not being used as a consonant.

 

[Pattree]

W is a vowel in Welsh which is why I wear my hat sideways.

My mind instanly played on national stereotypes and read the last word as croissant. Don't think I had enough breakfast.

 

[Ozmundo]

I know a four letter word.

Would absolutely HAVE to be at the back, it would drive nuts looking at it were it at the front lol

As you are a professional writer I believe you...
As a dyslexic I now need to spend some time muttering in the corner about bloody English.... I mean come on vowels that are not vowels or half vowels, give me a break...
