Python help thread?

You don't really need an index for a string in python unless you're going to be doing string splitting

Which is what should be going on.

I can get it up to the first consonant, but I have to also strip all others up to the vowel, which is the source of my confusion. Examples would be:

Yvonne = Yvonne-ay
Yesterday = esterday-Yay
Friday = iday-Fray
always = always-ay

And for some reason he (my teacher) also has it checking for double consonants (bulldog) and removing one. Not sure if this was a typo or not, though.
