Is there any difference between "yup" and "yep"?:-) I find that my foreign friends often use "yep" and "yup" instead of "yes". I'm wondering whether there is any difference between them. Thanks in ad

All have the same meaning. Yup and yep are more informal than yes, so definitely use yes in more business like settings or conversations. Yup and yep are more slang/friendly. I rarely see yep used other than people who are very happy.

This is casual speech - yup and yep have the same "register". If you're ever in doubt about which expression to use, just use "yes". You can't go wrong with standard English.
