Oooh yes there is a huge difference. 'Oh' can be 'eh?' too sometimes.

SPsFanjoLovesRussellHoward · 21/07/2012 20:25

YANBU

Oh is 'oh, sorry to hear that'

Ohh is 'Ohh so who is he?'

cocolepew · 21/07/2012 20:25

Not forgetting 'oh, oh' and 'oh oh'.

SaggyOldClothCatPuss · 21/07/2012 20:27

With an ! Ooh! Can be sarcastic.

YANBU ''oh, there's no chocolate cake left'' and ''ooh I'd love a piece of chocolate cake'', there's an enormous difference.

CelstialNavigation · 21/07/2012 20:28

YANBU. The difference is an "o"

The magnitude of the difference depends on the size of the o.

PhoneyM · 21/07/2012 20:30

YANBU I usually go with Ooooooh to avoid confusion

Sparklingbrook · 21/07/2012 20:32

I start loads of posts with 'Ooooh' in a 'tell me more' sort of way usually.
