    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    Default Re: Commonly confused words

    Number 8? "Yea" is synonymous with "yippie"? "Yay" is, sure, but "yea" is actually synonymous to "yeah", isn't it? (Even if it's archaic.) And expressing one's joy by exclaiming "yeah" seems just as justified as doing it by exclaiming "yes", which is also done.
