Coding something you've never done before helps you gain knowledge in areas you were previously not as skilled in.
For example:
Instead of complaining you could be taking note to the way I coded this compared to the way you did. Look at areas of your program that aren't as complete and try to improve on it. Look at how I used arrays to get a better understanding of how to use them.

No one has use for these stupid apps we made.
Just because you did not like this challenge doesn't mean others didn't. Even if you don't have any use for the app itself, you can still learn from the functionality of it and possibly incorporate the same ideas in future projects. So if you insist on being pessimistic then go ahead. But trashing this contest is not helping anything. Including the coding section.

Is that all there is in pig latin? "crwth" with no vowels came out as "h-ay" for me. which means nothing was appended to the "ay" but it still took the last letter as "h" even though "t" isn't a vowel.
I fixed the VB code. I didn't test to make sure my "no vowel" catch worked. I fixed the code now, so it will give a message stating there are no vowels.
And you are correct about keep -> eep-kay.
I had not said anything about disliking the challenge. I am telling you that you should have made a challenge for any application that people might actually find somewhat helpful. Knowing a language no one speaks, helps no one.
