I asked one of my English teachers from high school this earlier(he's retired now) since I saw this today and he had never heard of w being used as a vowel. I'm also taking classes to be an elementary teacher and I've never seen or heard this until now. I guess it just depends on where you're from and like I said in my earlier post,what year you graduated. Some places may teach it,others apparently do not. I doubt I will teach my kids this unless something comes up in my lesson plans that I need to. Again,I'm not saying the teachers who have taught you this are wrong since there are a few others here who have been taught it as well. I just wanted to share the story of my old high school English teacher since I asked him this afternoon about it after reading this here.

I was never taught sometimes W.
Y yes, but W no.

For the record, I never said (or meant to imply) that anyone was insane or anything.
I had just never heard of this before, I wasn't taught this at any tie through school, and I asked for an example.

However I read the description and acknowledge the existence of W as a vowel. I still say it's stretching. I can see it in a word like "cwm". But a word like "Vowel"? It has an O and an E . I don't get it
