In this challenge, we are asked to return a collection of matches that are not exactly specified. Whereas previous regexp challenges would have you match within the character case [a-z], this challenge instead asks us to negate these matches using the caret character [^a-z]. Our goal then is to return a negated collection (non-matches) of letters that are not vowels nor numbers.
