Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

When once walking in Wales I observed a Welshman having a vowel-movement behind a bush . . . The noises he was uttering during this procedure were 100% vowels. Richmond. On 8/8/17 5:34 pm, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: If the Welsh are so averse to vowels, they ought to call themselves

If the Welsh are so averse to vowels, they ought to call themselves the Wlsh. Bob S > On Aug 7, 2017, at 15:17 , Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode > wrote: > > Also a Welsh word, NOT an English one. > > Richmond.

Scrabble disagrees. Both words are in mainstream dictionaries as well. They are imported words. I think they are the only two words where W is a vowel. Of course, Scrabble considers zloty, qadi, and qwerty to be words. Sent from my iPhone > On Aug 7, 2017, at 6:17 PM, Richmond Mathewson via

Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

Cwm is Welsh; in English it is spelt "combe". On Aug 7, 2017 11:08 PM, "Jonathan Lynch via use-livecode" < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > And the obscure word "cwm" uses w as a vowel. > > Sent from my iPhone > > > On Aug 7, 2017, at 3:28 PM, Mike Kerner via use-livecode < >

I think you have an error in your code samples. Your vowel set should be "aeiouandsometimesy" On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 1:56 PM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Thanks Tore and Mike. > > Richmond. > > > On 8/7/17 8:52 pm, Mike Bonner via use-livecode

Repeat for each char tchar intVar if tChar is among the items of "a,e,i,o,u" then -- its a vowel else -- its not a vowel. end if end repeat On Mon, Aug 7, 2017 at 11:42 AM, Richmond Mathewson via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Yes, here's "Mr Sanskrit" asking what

Re: Sorting out the sheep from the goats

I do not think that vowels are automatically detected, so you need to put the chars representing vowel sounds into a variabel tVowels . Run a repeat for each char tChar of the string and check if tChar is in tVowels, like this (using Norwegian vowels as an example) put “aeioyæøå” into tVowels
