EDIT 2: and speaking of avatar, have you seen this "Avatar 2 trailer" yet?
OMG that's just awesome! That's so much more awesome than the first one, I don't even know where to begin. Definitely bought.
But to be honest, I think the word Pandora might have been around before. I'm not saying it's been stolen though, most likely just a coincidence.

I know it was the name of the world in Borderlands. The planet in Borderlands was the opposite of the planet in Avatar, though.

Since we're posting videos, here's one that promotes the use of "z" as a word.

But now that you mentioned the word "portal" you gave me an idea.
It's still a bit rough, but I'll make it better some other time:Aww nah, keep the turtle. Turtles are awesome when they're pissed off.

How much worse is that than having "I" or "a" as words?

The result count for "bad-ass turtle" has fell down to 91400 after I took the screenshot. WTF?

Nice, but I still prefer by own drawing, even in its rough state (I'll probably leave it like that when I get fed up with turtle).
lol @ your video, btw

It's a CONSONANT.

Yes, but unlike certain other consonants it can be pronounced on its own. K, t, p would make much worse words IMHO.

Y is an ambiguous character. On its own, it's a vowel.

This means nothing!

According to http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y, it's the 23rd consonant, altough they also mention it can be used as a vowel (namely as a semivowel i).
Also, there's a Y in Alaska, apparently.

I can only conclude that you must live in some strange parallel universe where a Spanish "y" is not a consonant.@OzPeter said:

Given that the land was bought from the Russians and the Russian spelling is Аляска I can understand where that comes from, as 'я' is treated in english as 'ya'. On further investigation the Russian seems to be derived from Aleut, for which there is the name 'Alyeska'.Also, there's a Y in Alaska, apparently.

I really don't care.

Well, Portugal is glued to Spain and Y is a vowel to us.

It's fun to stay there. I can get myself clean, I can have a good meal.

Thats weird, because "y" is not really a Portuguese letter. It is a strange letter that is only there to assist with foreign words.@OzPeter said:

Weirder than that, it used to be a very common letter in Portuguese.It was abolished back in 1911. Every word substituted it with "i".
Along with K and W, it was removed from the official alphabet and could only be used in the odd foreign word that came along now and then.
It was allowed to return from its exhile in 1990, when it was reintegrated into the official alphabet.
But its use is still near zero, because "i" is still being used instead of the now-ancient orthography. (and because it's easier to spell this way, because there's less ambiguity)
