This matches *any* character that's not a vowel, for example digits or 
special chars $, !, %, ... or whitespace etc.

If you want consonants, you either have to explictly write them down 
(like I did in the previous post) or use the intersection of all 
alphabetic characters [a-z] with the non-vowels [^aeiou]:

consonants = /[a-z&&[^aeiou]]/i

But since this syntax isn't well-known, I'd probably just write down the 
characters.
