Typically, everything improves over time. "New" Tide. "New" Coke. Reality TV.
OK, a couple of those should have really been avoided, but you get my drift...
So how is that all these years (decades?) (centuries??) later, we still have only a handful of vowels for viewers of Wheel Of Fortune to purchase??
A, E, I, O, U - and sometime Y.
Sometimes Y? Let's just promote the goddam vowel and get it over with. Then, we should either convert a consonant or two, or come up with a few new vowels.
We could name them after someone famous, if that would speed up the process. JT has a new album, and his initials sound like vowels. Bjork makes a j sound like a vowel, so that's one that could be promoted.
Or, we could make some up. How about ^, }, or ~???
As always, I appreciate your input. Submit it to the address below in a plain white envelope, along with the $20. fee that will be required to submit the paperwork.
You could be part of history here.
Just sayin'....
Chow for now!
After years of often daily attempts at humour and virtually any stray thought I could snare on my keyboard, I'm changing the name of this space from Such Is Life, to May I Present:. That should still allow me to post on a wide variety of topics, but steer the focus for readers to my most common writing efforts now, on Folk, Roots, Blues & Americana music!

I submitted my choice along with my $20, did my vowel win?
It was a lovely vowel, to be sure.
No.
