RE: Phew >From this US English speaking person's perspective, "phew" and "whew" are interchangable for the most part. In fact, I prefer "phew", which I pronounce such that it rhymes with "whew", simply because to me it sounds more like the sound it is supposed to represent. -- --Steve Crooks scrooks at tyrell.net "Consequences, shmonsequences, as long as I'm rich." -- Daffy Duck
