Lately, numerous people are confusing the pronunciation of these two words: yea and yeah. And then consequently they use the wrong word when using these words in writing.
“Yea” rhymes with weigh or pay. And it is a celebratory exclamation. “Yeah,” is an affirmative response, like “yes.”
A good source to hear these words is http://dictionary.com. Once you’ve called up “yea” or “yeah” online, you will see a little speaker “icon” to hear what these words sound like. Just click on the icon.
Also, you could find a music fake book that has The Beatles song, “She loves you” in it to see how they spell “yeah.” “Yeah, yeah, yeah…” as the song’s lyrics go.
The Beatles did not sing, “She loves you yea, yea, yea.”
Get it? Got it! Good.
