I don’t disagree - but if “be” and “beet” and “bated” and “bite” have “y” sounds, then it has nothing to do with the next syllable starting with a vowel. It’s just a fubction of that particular vowel sound. ---

Given that past hated tyrants died well before truly-mass-media existed, the number of people celebrating at the same moment will almost certainly break all records. If we all jump up in the air, then land at the same time, what might that do to the integrity of the planet’s tectonic plates…?? (Oh, yeesh, something new to worry about.) ---
