Acceptable: Replacement for "you"
Unacceptable: Replacement for "yeah"
The first definition is correct, because "ya" is actually how a lot of people pronounce "you" in a casual conversation.
But using it as "yeah" is incorrect and
stupid, because nobody in real life pronounces yeah like "ya". The only people who type it that way are people under
25 who are trying to be cool and fit in with the rest of their e-buddies and
Myspace losers.
A lot of them make the excuse that it's easier to type "ya" than "yeah". Yeah right. It's just their way of hiding the fact that they'
re trying to be cool and fit in on whatever board/forum they're posting on.
At least things like "orly" and "kthx" are funny......"ya" is not. It's just
dumb.
By the way, expect all my votes to be negative, because they're all
mad that I'm right.
P.S. go read a
book instead of wasting
time surfing the net or playing video games......you might learn something.
