I needed to know how to spell a few little interjection words, things like Aah, Ooh, eek and so forth as there is one in particular I am trying to find. I found a good website that lists quite a lot of them but sadly it did not have the one I want.

The one I want to use is: 'Ooo!' - (my spelling as I don't know how to spell it!)

This word would rhyme with : glue / you / do, and would be used like; "Ooo! Get you ducky!"

I don't think the word I want is Ooh as to me that rhymes with: go / Joe / blow, and not the right sound I want.

So, can anyone clarify how to spell the word I want? Is Ooo correct?

If anyone is interested here is a link to a list of these types of words http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/interjections/

Ooh.

Get you!

Even when I see that, I want to put an 'h' on it.

Thanks guys. So it's looking like the answer is - 'ooh' then.

I guess I was thinking that you only get an Oo with Typoo and had that stuck in my head.

Wake up and smell the coffee

What I always worry about is the number of As in aaaaaaaaagh!

Never mind the As put an an R in it

Oh with one 'o' rhymes with Go.

So it's "Ooh!"

You want Ooh. Oh rymhes with go etc - but there's also no reason you can't just use Ooo! if you want to.

On a similar note - how would you write 'Arrrr' (that's a nice kitten) vs 'Arrrr' (he's trying to kill me)? I'm writing a piece where they get mixed up

Ahh!! That's a nice kitten.

so how would you spell, Arr, that's a big knife?

You wouldn't. That's a big knife!
