    From google: “yea is the word we sometimes use for yes, yay is the word we use to express joy, approval, or excitement.” From Grammarly: “you can use yea or yeah for yes”

    If your going to be a weird-ass internet grammar nazi then at least be right about the grammar, otherwise you look like a total and complete idiot. That’s my vote.

      Every voice vote I’ve ever had the honor of participating in, Aye is the word we used. As in “All in favor say Aye. All against say Nay”

      Yea, I can’t say that “yea” or “yeah” is a hill worth dying on these days. So yeah…That’s how I see it. (Anybody see my Oxford comma? I had it here somewhere)

        Literally means figuratively, whatever fight this guy is trying to carry on — he loses against the general ignorance of the masses. Evrytim.

        Signed, guy who hates that literally means figuratively.

            You’re right, yet many people still say ‘literally’ immediately before saying something figurative.

            Colloquialisms are king, you will always lose to the masses — in this case they happen to be very ignorant.
