I was just learning about this today in response to this post! I had no idea that the definition of a vowel is based on what sound you actually make, rather than it having anything to do with what you write.
It’s kind of weird that it’s not taught that way in schools. Like, you’re just told a/e/I/o/u are the vowels and left to get on with it. Seems to me that could just be changed to “by the way it’s a/e/I/o/u/y/w, off you go”.
Also by/dry/cry/pry etc. There are loads if you exclude y as a vowel.

So whether hospital has vowels depends on what country you are in and if you have insurance? /J
