» Yeah, yay, yah & ya

I certainly would not consider myself the spelling expert but I often see yeah and yay misused so I thought I’d have a little education session.

Yeah - pronounced ye-uh as in yes
"Hey Jen, are you going to with us to the mall."- girl a; "Yeah, I’ll go"- girl b
Yay - rhymes with and is a synomym of hooray. It’s used in cases of excitement.
"Did I tell you I won an ipod?" - girl a; "No! Oh that is exciting. Yay!" - girl b
Yah - is also an expersion of agreement but there is no excitement.
"Hey are you ready to go" - girl a; "yah" - girl b
Ya - means you
"How are ya?"
Yea - is a very old-fashioned formal way of saying “yes,” used mainly in voting. It’s the opposite of—and rhymes with—“nay.”
"All in favor say yea, all opposed nay."
and if that wasn’t confusing enough yay can also refer to height, as in "when I was yay big" [holding hand up]
