First of all, you make a common mistake: getchar() returns an int and not a char. This may cause errors in the != EOF condition
Ok, so here's my short approach I would be taken, no guarantuee that it works though
Code:
int c;
int iscorrect = 1;
int inword = 0;
int lastvowel = 0; // if it is 1, the previously read char was a vowel
while((c = getchar()) != EOF) {
if(delimitp((char) c)) {
if(inword) { // end of word reached
(iscorrect == 1 && lastvowel == 1) ? printf(" correct word\n"); : printf(" wrong word\n"); // word had to be correct and the char in front of the delimit had to be vowel
inword = 0;
iscorrect = 1; //reset
} else // two or more delimiters, ignore them
continue;
}
if(!letterp((char) c)) { //word is def wrong
inword = 1;
iscorrect = 0;
putchar(c);
continue;
}
if(!inword) { //first char of word, so we don't check adjacent consonsants here
inword = 1;
iscorrect = 1; //we accecpt consonants and vowels here. all other got kicked of in the if before - prob obsolute because we reset it at the delimiters
if(vowelp((char) c))
lastvowel = 1;
else
lastvowel = 0;
putchat(c);
} else {
if(!vowelp((char) c) && lastvowel = 0) //adjacent consonants
iscorrect = 0;
putchar(c);
}
}
So, I hope this gets the job done Just a quick summary: First we check for delimiters. If it is the first delimiter and the last char was a vowel (and the word was correct to this point) it is correct. More limiters get ignored.
Then we check what else is there: If it is not a letter, the word is def wrong. But still we put it out.
If it is the first char of a word, we don't care it it is a vowel or consonant, both is ok. But we still need to check so we are able to check for adjacent consonants. This is done via lastvowel.

DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1) Debconf DEBCONF-MERGETEMPLATE(1)NAME
debconf-mergetemplate - merge together multiple debconf template files
SYNOPSIS
debconf-mergetemplate [options] [templates.ll ...] templates
DESCRIPTION
Note: This utility is deprecated. You should switch to using po-debconf's po2debconf program.
This program is useful if you have multiple debconf templates files which you want to merge together into one big file. All the specified
files will be read in, merged, and output to standard output.
This can be especially useful if you are dealing with translated template files. In this case, you might have your main template file, plus
several other files provided by the translators. These files will have translated fields in them, and maybe the translators left in the
english versions of the fields they translated, for their reference.
So, you want to merge together all the translated templates files with your main templates file. Any fields that are unique to the
translated files need to be added in to the correct templates, but any fields they have in common should be superseded by the fields in the
main file (which might be more up-to-date).
This program handles that case properly, just list each of the translated templates files, and then your main templates file last.
OPTIONS --outdated
Merge in even outdated translations. The default is to drop them with a warning message.
--drop-old-templates
If a translation has an entire template that is not in the master file (and thus is probably an old template), drop that entire
template.
