For awhile I've been reading emails with a misspelling. This must stop.
People keep typing, "yea," when they mean, "yeah."
"Yea" sounds like "yay." It's an adverb used in oral voting, expressing "yes," or used to introduce a more emphatic phrase. It can also be a noun meaning, "affirmative vote."
"Yeah" has the same short "a" sound as the word, "bad." It's an adverb meaning, "yes."
Please don't type, "yea," when you mean, "yeah." It looks dum.
