YEA or YEAH

YEA or YEAH
Taking a trip on the way-back machine to May 2014


So I’m writing a post and I want to express happiness about something.  I write “yeah” then it doesn’t seem correct, so I try “yea.”  That didn’t seem right either.  I suppose I could Google it, but instead I asked Mrs. Cranky.


“If I want to show happiness, is the word Y-E-A, or Y-E-A-H?”


“Yes.”


“Yes. But is it spelled Y-E-A, or Y-E-A-H.”


“YEAH.”


“Yea?”


“Yes.”


“Yes yea, or yes yeah.”


“Yup.”


“Yup what?”


“Yup yeah.”


“Yup Y-E-A-H or yup Y-E-A?”


“Yup Y-E-A-H.”


“So not Y-E-A.”


“No, Y-E-A is in yea or nay, Y-E-A-H is yeah as in yippee.”


“Maybe I should just say yippee.”


“OK”


“I should Google it.”

I Googled it.


“Which is it?”


“Not Y-E-A or Y-E-A-H.”


“No?”


“Yeah”


“That’s what I said.”


“No, not Y-E-A, that means yes in the affirmative, not Y-E-A-H, that means yup.  It should be Y-A-Y…Yay!”


I decided to just write "It makes me happy."

  2. I get the YAY. I don't understand google's difference between YEA or YEAH. Yup means yes, doesn't it?
