Electronic Etiquette - Yeah vs Yea

So I am gonna start an ongoing series of posts called Electronic Etiquette. In this electronic age, people don't seem to take care when they text or IM people. The entire age shows a lack of etiquette and I find it very frustrating so I am going to write my frustrations out here to all the many (or few) people who read this.

So have you ever asked someone a question and they respond with 'yea'. For those that don't know it, 'yea' is pronounced with a long A sound and is not the same as 'yeah' (pronounced with a short A sound). 'Yea' is a cheer or an exclamation of happiness. 'Yeah' is a affirmation to something. It shouldn't be that hard to get it right but most of the time I get texts that back from people after I ask a question and they are cheering. I'm like "Did the question really get you that excited?" So the next time you are text keep in mind that 'yeah' and 'yea' are not the same. Figure it out please!
