Consonants Need Vowels?

I remember being told that consonants need vowels by one of my elementary school teachers. I remember repeating this to my oldest sister, Lynda, after she had a kid or two.

Lynda said no you don’t need a vowel sound to make a consonant sound. You can just say Boo [as in book] or Foo [as in foot], for the B and F sounds. Notice that I had to use vowels to illustrate my point. But I never caught on to that at the time.

So I remember pre talking with her babies and using what I thought were just consonant sounds to get them to the point where they could almost speak. A couple months later they were speaking.

The short oo sound is the “invisible” vowel in English. It is the u in pull and bull. And the vowel that is between the T and L in cattle and bottle. It may seem invisible at first, but it is definitely there. I don’t blame my sister or me for not realizing it was a vowel, because shows like Electric Company would use this “invisible” vowel to sound out words.

For instance they would say Boo A Doo when sounding out the word Bad. Then they would say the three letter names closer and closer together until magically the oo sound disappeared and they said Bad.

When I realized this, I thought for years that what I was originally told was correct. Consonants need vowels.

That is until I saw mmmm written out one day and I forced myself to think about this. So it became consonants need vowels except m.

Then I thought of a few more. Ssss doesn’t need a vowel. Neither does zzzz. There are also Shhhh and Zhhhh. (If you’re wondering what sound zh is, it’s the g in mirage, the s in leisure. In school I was taught that it was the soft g sound.)

Anyhow, that’s five exceptions to the consonants need vowels rule. Do you have any more?

Bloody hell. I enroll with auto-pay with the electric company, but for some unfathomable reason they don't put my first payment on auto-pay.

So now I owe more than $500. At first, I panicked, but then I realized that this has the deposit for my new electrical service. (I moved in May.)

I tried calling to ask... but... haha... how naive I was! "We are experiencing a higher volume than normal..." Yeah, keep cutting in your workforce, and now it is always a "higher volume." I hung up.

I was tipped when I got a call from a number that was ostensibly their customer service line, but they told me to call a number that is not listed anywhere with this company.

😕

I suppose they never heard of SIM spoofing, right? Of course, I did not call that number since it did not seem to be tied to the electric company.

My generation didn't grow up with internet and smartphones.

But we had #MorganFreeman on #ElectricCompany.

So...yeah, check AND mate, bro.

“Comedy is legal again on #Twitter” — but whatever you do, don’t make a joke about #Elmo’s cratering #ElectricCompany. #TSLA 😬

This is what happens when someone’s reality distortion field gets in a recursive self-reinforcing destructive loop fueled by infinite money. He can just keep buying the reality he wants — at our expense.
