Is It Rude to Say “Yeah” Instead of “Yes”? 5% Say “Yeah” (Er, “Yes”)

You know how some people think it sounds TERSE to use periods after one-word texts?  Like, responding, “No.”

Well, this is another level.

Someone put up a poll online, asking “Is it rude to say ‘yeah’ instead of ‘yes’?”  They added, “For context, my partner always corrects me when I say ‘yeah’ and says it’s ‘so rude.’  I think it’s just casual?  Thoughts?”

Well, about 5% of people said yeah, or yes, they think it IS rude.  The remaining 95% said no.

In the comments, one person said, “Is your partner 60 years old?  Chillax.”  Another said, “I feel it’s rude if you’re over 15, but apparently that’s a minority opinion.”  The person who asked the question said his partner is 28.
