I must, however remind you that no single word is valid unless it contains a vowel.

Is "by" a word? How about "cry? Fly? Fry? Is "rhythm" not a word?

don't worry. Everyone makes a spelling mistake every now and then.

Y is never a vowel. It is vowel sound.

"The letter Y can be regarded as both a vowel and a consonant."
