Copycat post: Okay, I'm just going to do it... Just in case you didn't see Amber's latest post/comment section.
I told Amber that I had been thinking about doing this post, but hadn't because it seemed a bit too "Snobby English Teacherish", however I'll trust that you all know I don't mean it that way...
(Perhaps I'll do a weekly installment so the confusion of:
"there", "their", and "they're" can get cleared up as well as "it's" and "its"... Who knows...)
Which way do you spell...

YA!
YEAH!
YAY!
YEA!
Kuddos to Christie for getting it correct!
The correct spelling is: Yay! As in: "Yay! It's Friday!"
Yeah: Instead of saying 'yes' when you agree with someone: Yeah, I need to get out more...
Yea: The opposite of 'Nay' when you are voting
Ya: the shortened version of 'you' as in, "Can I tell ya how much I love grammar?"

I'll read it! I was pretty good in English in school but it's been so long and every once in awhile I get stuck!
