*looks at spam* Well, there goes the neighbourhood.
I don't think many people know the basics of voting because we don't actually have a system of democracy or anything like it anymore [or ever]. It's not a case of "yea" or "nay", it's a case of "No, you're wrong, and also stupid, because you're a communist."
<span style='color:orange'>UltimaGecko is intrigued that 'yay' maybe the spoken form of yea, and requires further proof.</span>
Plus it's just a messed up way of writing it out...it's like yee-ah ...ortherwise it'd need to be, yee-ay...which sounds just as weird....you know, instead of just yuh-ay.

Really though, I say when English fails us miserably (quite often), we use the German form. I have yet to see an example where it's not an improvement. Plural "you" is a good one.
It's a shame most people would stand there and look confused at me.
YAY for english grammar. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Edited for Clarity.
Its a sound of celebration, like 'YES!" or "Woot!"

Who cares.
I guess I'm lucky I don't get that in real life, else my general hate for people will grow stronger.
Will we never learn a proper use for science?
