"yeah," that's affirmative...
                    (yea vs. yeah)

This is a mistake that's basically found in spelling only.  The common mistake is, "Yeah God!" 
Correctly it is
"Yea God!"

yea rhymes with hay
This is from middle & old English--- term used when publically voting FOR an issue.  It means "yes."

yeah rhymes with...well like "bear" only if you pronounce it with a HORRIBLE Ted Kennedy impersonation!
This is basically the lazy form of "yes"--the form that irritates English teachers and grandmothers.
