Gabriella and I were discussing vowels. They are one of the tricker parts of learning the written English language. She knows what the vowels are, but still often mixes and omits them.
Me: Every word has at least one vowel and some words have more.
Gabriella: "Brrr doesn't have a vowel"
Me: (not sure I've heard correctly) "How do you spell brrr?"
Gabriella: "B-r-r. (makes a shivering gesture) See? No vowels."
Me: Yes you are right sweetie, almost every word has a vowel.
