The topic "Is W a vowel" has been thoroughly discussed and debated in EnglishForward on several occasions.

"Vowel" has two meanings:
1. one of a group of letters, which does not include "w"
2. a sound, which is something you cannot see.

Attempts to describe sounds may take various forms, many perhaps yet to be devised.

I hope the move to close debate remains a legal one, not an intellectual one.

Oh, let's not venture into a debate about the need for spelling reform!
I'm all in favor of it, and many have tried, none successfully since Mr. Webster, who mainly served to complicate the differences in AmE and BrE.
