The letter Y, please help us understand you.

I never understood the concept of "and sometimes Y". Does Y wake up some mornings and think "I want to be a vowel today!" then the next day, it's in a bad mood and says "screw it, I'm a consonant".

Does it switch during the day? A is a pain to Y so Y says "Screw you, A, I'm going to be a vowel now and hang out with T".

Do you think it is upbringing? Was the old English Y (Th) mean to our modern day Y? Y didn't want to have a lisp like the TH pair so he went out on his own against the family business and went the EE way?

Or, does the old English Y (Th) and it's ancestors have some genetic difference causing Y to go both ways?

Y, we love you, please let us understand you. The texters love you because you can replace a whole word (like B, U "Y U L8").

Do you just hang with the vowels to seem more popular (all words have to have a vowel, you know!) and sometimes like being in a bigger pond with the other 19 constants?Also, Y, the letter I misses you, when was the last time you two were together? You were yipping for joy.
