To ask why people type pooh instead of poo?

[maytheoddsbeeverinyourfavour]

This is not a dig, my spelling and grammar are in no way good enough to enable me to critise other peoples and the fecking iPad doesn't help either

But I would really like to know why people use pooh instead of poo? Where did it come from? As far as I'm aware pooh is only the name of the bear, when did it become interchangeable with poo?

To misquote Gertrude Stein:
" A pooh is a poo is a pooh"

Or even Shakespeare:
" A pooh by any other name would smell as sweet"

there is a thread this week about things you didn't know about, and at the age of nearly 46 I found out a couple of years ago that poo isn't spelt pooh. My 13 year old ds finds this hysterical :(

Pooh = Winnie Ther Pooh (Edward Bear)

Poo = Bottom dumplings.

OP, until I was in my twenties the only spelling that I had ever seen of the word pronounced "poo" was "Pooh", for example by AA Milne and Enid Blyton. As a result I always thought that "poo" was spelt "Pooh". So this is probably how the confusion arose! Many children's books now use the word "poo" but this just did not happen in the 1970's!
