Even as the instinctive prescriptivist that I am, I can't possibly get get worked up about permutations on onomatopoeia.

Not even something like "woe" for woah, or "hmf" for hmph? :P
You raise good points. :)
Actually I like "hmf" despite my usual distaste for the dilution of "ph" to "f". The "ph" in "hmph" seems incidental, so it does not trigger me, I guess!
There is a highway sign somewhere on I-95 for "Fenix Ave", which took me a while to realize was a vicious act committed by illiterates against "Phoenix Avenue".
