Strings are immutable, so you cannot change or delete a letter, without recreating the whole string
Your case testing will not work as you are saying the lower case value of the vowels which are lower case anyway. You need to lowercase the letter from the word.
def disemvowel(word):
newword = ''
vowels = 'aieou'
for letter in word:
if letter.lower() not in vowels:
newword += letter
return(newword)
