There are two instances when you use "y" as a consonant: when it begins a word, and when it begins a syllable.

a consonant is a speech sound that is articulated with complete or partial closure of the vocal tract

If "y" is being considered a consonant when it precedes all other letters in a word or is the beginning of a syllable, it is because of the SOUND it makes, you dope.
Go into a store and ask for "AN yellow paint sample".
Do it.

The "y" in "you" and "you're" is a consonant SOUND. Therefore, you would NEVER use "an" before "you" or "you're" since both words start with a consonant SOUND.

AGAIN, you get it wrong.
AGAIN you think that repeating an error will eventually make it right.
NOPE. You failed. AGAIN.
You are also using examples not relevant to this conversation. I would not ask for AN yellow anything. Stop trying to change shit so you can argue. You lost.
 
Good guy with a gun stopped a potential mass shooting, 22 years old!

‘The suspect killed three people and injured two during the rampage but was stopped short by a 22-year-old man carrying a gun lawfully. Police have not shared the man's name, but local authorities are already calling the citizen who stopped the shooter a "real hero."’

 
Wow. This isn’t insider trading 👀

‘Paul Pelosi purchased 20,000 shares of Nvidia, one of the world’s largest semiconductor companies, on June 17, according to the speaker’s disclosure report released Thursday. Now, senators will convene as early as Tuesday to vote on a bipartisan competition bill, which allocates $52 billion to boost domestic semiconductor manufacturing and gives tax credits for production, Reuters reported Thursday.

“It certainly raises the specter that Paul Pelosi could have access to some insider legislative information,” Craig Holman, a government affairs lobbyist for the left-wing think tank Public Citizen, told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “This is the reason why there is a stock trading app that exclusively monitors Paul’s trading activity and then its followers do likewise.”’

Crazy isn't it? So who is going to question them? Even with this information they think they are above the law.

Moving the goalpost Rob to save face?

A E I O U - Y <--- Vowels : Every other LETTER is a consonant. ALL of these letters are pronounced with specific sounds. Humans have labeled these sounds. I even posted one of your Google go to type searches that specifically says the SOUND of and you still want to focus on a letter itself. Just give up Rob.
It's "and SOMETIMES y" you dunce.
Y is a consonant when it is the first letter of a word or the first letter of a syllable.

You fail at failing.
Take some classes, then try to put the knowledge to use.

OR, go through life sounding like an idiot in conversation: "I bought myself an new amplifier for my car. It's an yelllow one. I like it because it has an useful protection circuit."
 
You are also using examples not relevant to this conversation. I would not ask for AN yellow anything. Stop trying to change shit so you can argue. You lost.
So, you would give someone AN "You Are A Dope" award?
How about AN "You're A Dope" award?

Yes, YOU think you should put "an" before a consonant Y.
You're wrong. And obviously not very bright.
There are two instances when you use "y" as a consonant: when it begins a word, and when it begins a syllable. "you" and "you're" start with a consonant "y".

I'd almost bet you'd say "I borrowed him some of my stuff and never got it back"
 
Well, he sure is destroying our country, like he promised. But he’s not running control of his own underwear or bowel movements; let’s be honest…
Here we go with your feces obsession again. Look: just because YOU have no bowel control, does not mean EVERYONE has no bowel control. The majority of us are doing just fine.

He's in his 80's and biking. You're sitting in your chair 24/7 in Depends. Let's be honest...
