Though for all that, a lot of Yiddish I've seen is also written without vowel-points. So the patah-alef and qamats-alef vowels, and the yod-yod-patah vs. yod yod diphthongs, must be distinguished from context, like everything else.
For much of the last century standard YIVO orthography has been preferred, and they are just not optional there.
