Yay! Yea! Yeah!
The In today's speed-is-everything, texting-driven world, the spelling of even the simplest words can become corrupted. See if you know the correct spelling for one of them.
What's the correct way to spell the casual form of "yes"?
yay
yea
yeah
Options 2 and 3 both correct.
And the correct answer is "yeah," option three. "Yea" also means "yes," but it's a more formal form typically used under specific circumstances, such as for an oral vote, and also for “to this extent,” as in “yea big.” However, in the can’t-be-fast-enough world of texting and instant messaging, people frequently drop the "h" to save a keystroke, and the result is a different "yes" than intended. The word "yay," rather than being a form of "yes," is an interjection to express joy or approval, but it's pronounced the same way as "yea," and for this reason, people sometimes confuse the two in written form. Other casual forms of "yes" include "yep," "yup" and, more recently, "yaaass," which seemed to come into mainstream usage after a 2013 video went viral of a guy yelling this word as Lady Gaga walked by paparazzi.
