A Primer

This post is just a quick and friendly tutorial on a few often-confused words:


And to make sure I don't steer you wrong, I checked my definitions with Webster's Dictionary.


Awe/Aw/Ah


Awe:  wonderment (or dread), as in "I am in awe of how many Sugar Babies you can consume in a single sitting."


Aw:  a term used to express sympathy or adorableness (can be real or fake), often paired with a head tilt, as in, "Aw, too many Sugar Babies, huh?  Feel better."


Ah: an onomatopoeic term used during a lightbulb moment (or a pretend one), as in, "So what you're saying is that with Sugar Babies in the house, you have the self control of a toddler.  Ah."


 


Yeah/Yea/Yay


Yeah:  a laid-back response in the affirmative, as in,  "Yeah, I'm bringing Sugar Babies, why?"


Yea:  an affirmative response used in oral voting.  "I vote yea on the proposal of confiscating the Sugar Babies!"


Yay:  a cheer, expressing excitement, encouragement, or approval, as in, "Yay!  Sugar Babies!"


I hope this has been helpful.
