Americans never did learn English <VBG>. There are 5 letters in English
that are vowels and 'y' is not amongst them.
There is nothing wrong with 'Rhythm', it is a two syllable word with no
vowels. A word does not have to contain a vowel and there are several
other examples.
Wikipedia, written in Americaneese tries to introduce 'y' as a 'semi-vowel'
and fails miserably. The concept is alien to the English language and is a
gradation.
Franks list of names do not all end in vowels and 'n' doesn't enter the
debate at all.
