          The problem is, you can’t easily define “sometimes” - is Y in M1RY4M a vowel? It’s WAY easier to write a program that uses the 23456789BCDFGHJKLMNPQRSTVWXZ alphabet to generate base-28 codes than one that excludes all possibilities where an English-speaking human could possibly interpret the Y as a vowel.

            Yes that’s true but this was a joke about how linguistically Y is only sometimes a vowel. The idea of having a program randomly decide when to include and exclude it is funny to me.

              having a program randomly decide when to include it

              “Not randomly,” the company’s underutilized AI expert rises from his chair, “that’s a job for me!”

              $30,000 later, the system that rejects would-be vowels with “99.5% accuracy” is unveiled. Two weeks after that, a customer is given the code 69BJ4KKK88 and shares it on social media.
