'Yeah' or 'Yes'?

When you're talking to people do you tend to use 'yes' or 'yeah' as an answer more often?

My mother was always on my case as a kid for saying 'yeah' to everything, she always told me 'say yes', these days I think it's about even except I probably still use 'yeah' more.

Yeah almost in the spoken word. Here, "yes" is considered awkward. But I hail from the land of English language abusers.

Depends on the situation. If in a more formal situation or with people I do not know, i use yes... with you guys and friends, yeah is used more often.
