Anyway why don't you use simply "yes" if thought that ? "Yep", "yup" and so on...

Laziness I think. It's easy to say 'Yep' or 'Yeh' instead of going to the effort of making a 'ssss' sound

I tend to use 'yep', 'yup' and so on in an effort to sound less formal. If I wrote everything the way it goes through my brain I'd sound terribly formal and people would think I'm a stuck up asshole, when really I'm just an asshole..

    after all to be a simple asshole much better than to be a stuck up one...

It's because we're mostly British here Laszlo, and as everyone knows the British (as opposed to the English) never do anything the 'easy' way!

And because of your effort I feel sometimes a bit idiot to use an old style British sounds like a speach of somebody who just escaped from a time-machine ...

Supposedly sometimes it could come in handy. You could read The best of Shakespeare without any problem if have no effort British to be changed all the time...not to mentioned the guys like me who are learning, but the language is changing faster than anybody able to learn that well... okay, no worry, I'm learning away !

Keep asking Laszlo, your English is already very good but it's interesting to know what you think of different parts of the language. You already write better English than a lot of school-leavers do

Moved this to gendiss as its developed into something greater than perhaps first envisaged.
