Short primer (prĭm'ər)

[deelaundry]

This actually came up in real life this week - LOL.

yay  (yā) - interjection used as an exclamation of pleasure, approval, elation, or victory.
yea (yā) adverb meaning indeed; truly: They have spoken, yea, shouted their reply.  (Can also be used to mean a 'yes' vote as in The yeas have it but is not used in everyday conversation.)
yeah (yě'ə, yā'ə)  - informal form of "yes."

PS.  The opposite of "uh huh" is "nuh uh." <= Being a cheeky bitch here.

PPS.  If you see little boxes above, they should be the upside down e, which indicates a sound like the a in alone and sofa.  (It's called the schwa -- dictionary nerd, heh).

Hi!

Ah, but I do so enjoy rantiness - thanks! That one has always puzzled me in terms of how one could possibly confuse the two, but yes, I hadn't factored in the rarely seen verb form XD
