The y at the end of every country in this list is a vowel, it should at least be explicitly stated that y always counts as a consonant in the quiz. Also, agreed with Swaziland, if they want to keep it, it should be pre-filled in.
Thirding the comments about Y being a vowel in Italy, et al. And maybe consider adding Ivory Coast, just for the sake of conistency with all the other quizzes.
I agree with all of the above. I guess the interesting thing for me is that this shows that, other than land/lands, there are hardly any country names that qualify.
The full names of St. Kitts and St. Vincent, as written in the Countries of the World Quiz, are St. Kitts and Nevis and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
The name "as written in Countries of the World" does not mean "its full name".
It's a pretty common site standard that should be pretty obvious for someone who is level 73, especially considering all the hints present, i.e. what gets filled in when you type a correct answer and the presence of the Vatican City State and the Italian Republic.
Why would you always consider Y a vowel for this quiz? If it makes a vowel sound like “E”, then it’s a vowel in that country name. Germany ends in a vowel.
Pretty sure that instruction was only added in recently, it says the quiz was updated just over 2 weeks ago, which is after most of the comments about the Y.
That is possible. Thank you. I think I just like checking back with people who whine and whinge when they have been on here years and never/hardly ever contribute their own quizzes. ATB
Makes as much sense as adding a caveat, "For the purposes of this quiz, M is considered a vowel." There is a reason that Y is sometimes considered a vowel and sometimes considered a consonant. In all of these country names, Y is a vowel because if it were a consonant, the names would be unpronounceable.
