word!

These few words infuriate me to no end. I’m sure I use them alot in everyday talk, but when I stare at them in a IM or on the page, they just irk me something fierce.

Yea – means yes or when you affirm a vote you say Yea.
Ya – on the other hand refers to the word you ~ like where ya going? I also believe it’s an affirmative as well, like the german word for yes (ja) which comes off as ‘ya’
Yay – refers almost specificly to celebration ~ Yay, it’s my birthday!
Yeah – also equals yes and is a variant of yea.

Good golly, how are you supposed to keep all these similiar yet different words straight? It’s almost impossible because they just about all mean the same thing too! Maybe I’ll just use the word yes and forget the rest. Yeah, that’s it… D’oh I mean YES that’s it!!!!

Odd you may say, but I don’t think so. I’ve been trying to track down something like this for a while now. So when/if I change archives links to particular posts will be flexible and change as well. Used following sites for guidance:

Not remarkable stuff but every little bit helps make things workout better. This Macros thing is interesting, seems most people use it to convert 🙂 into a real smiley or such, but a few are pushing it a tad more hardcore. I might revisted this again if something more seems interesting.
