Yeah and Yea mean different things though, don't they.
As in, Yea means Yes and Yeah is used for excitement.

I thought so as well, but I can't be any more wrong. "Yea" is a word from Old English "gea" or "ge", which meant "oh yes" in Modern English. While "yeah", on the other hand, is American way of drawling "yes", so basically it's not a word. But both are acceptable.

Wait wait wait ... we just started building this connection, you know, with me being Queen and stuff, and you already plan on vanishing again? Mods always tend to either ban me or break my heart.
I want to be a mod too.

I thought it was spelled "Yeah", with an H, so I win?

I blame CollegeHumor for this, they have a series of videos called 'Yay or nay'

Though interestingly, for something like "Game X, yay or nay" it's not even that bad if you look at it as will I be thinking yay when playing X game.
And yep, also spell it as "yeah".

Actually..it's "yeah", not "yea". If you're going to be an ass-hole and pick on people for making a grammar error and even go so far as to create a thread about it(which in itself is pitiful), then at least make sure you got it right yourself, you illiterate prick.

I'm not sure what you're asking, mainly because I don't know which instance you're referring to. However, I'm very tired and I'm going to bed. I'll check in a few hours when I wake up and hopefully answer you then, assuming there's been some clarification.

I'll post this here too
but it is Yay or nay that is 100% acceptable though homophones and an eggcorn it still is useable and people understand it.
IE: It's spelled Tyger not Tiger but screw it let's go without the i umm it is waaay faster. . . all over the English language th lexicon changes due to the younger generation then becomes embedded and is attempted to be solidified by the elder generation. . . who, in turn, always are proven wrong (Though only linguistics people understand and accept all societies loves to think that the spelling rules of the standing time are 100% correct)

Old English tigras (plural), also in part from Old French tigre "tiger" (mid-12c.), both from Latin tigris "tiger," from Greek tigris, possibly from an Iranian source akin to Old Persian tigra- "sharp, pointed," Avestan tighri- "arrow," in reference to its springing on its prey, "but no application of either word, or any derivative, to the tiger is known in Zend." [OED]. Of tiger-like persons from c.1500. The meaning "shriek or howl at the end of a cheer" is recorded from 1845, American English, and is variously explained. Tiger's-eye "yellowish-brown quartz" is recorded from 1886.
What Tyger are you talking about? :-/

It's spelled 'yea', not 'yay.'
'Yay' is an exclamation that shows you're pleased with something.
'Yea' means yes.
Carry on.
