minus-square🌞 Alexander Daychilde 🌞@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·3 days agoThe word is “yeah”. Not “yea”. The later rhymes with “yay” and means something similar to but distinct from "yes’ Similarly it is yea/nay not yay/nay. And fuck English for making the incorrect more logical and consistent. Lol
