Dr. Bill, our eminence gris, just reminded me of Bulwer-Lytton, he who penned the immortal "It was a dark and stormy night..."

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.

And this little beauty, that is often the first, as well as the last, words spoken by a drunk guy to another drunk guy in a bar.
"Oh ya. Come over here and say that!"

>Oh ya.
I've often wondered, upon seeing this construction, Bel: is this pronounced different to "oh yeah?"
(and if so, do ya wanna make somethin of it?!)

Dunno tsuwm. I don't know how yeah is pronounced. If I pronounced it the way I see it written, the "eah" has the same sound as the "eah" in Leah (as in the princess); which sound very southern.
I'm assuming you pronounce it like my ya - the a sounding like the a in "at" ?

I don't think we differ much, eh? my personal knee-yerk to 'ya' I alluded to in my first, "do ya wanna make.."; that is, I pronounce that ya more like 'yuh'. yeah, of course, is 'y[e]ah'.
I should know better than to get into this sort of discussion; my eyes start to roll whenever others do it.
