I've been meaning to tell you that should be "Yeah" for an informal version of "Yes", otherwise it's a very archaic form of "Yes" or "Indeed" as in "Yea, though I walk in the valley of the shadow of death"!
Hmm. I've never paid attention to that. Grepping my IRC logs I seem to have used that since the beginning. But I can also see a lot of other people are saying "yea" (but no idea if they're native english speakers). Wikipedia says it's a common misspelling. Perhaps I should try to change it. :)
