Boy, that's a fun question. Kinda like, "what's the number for 911?"
Seriously: That wordless, two-syllable grunt of negativity - how do y'all spell it? I tend to write it "unh-uh", but I admit it looks weird, and I've never actually included it in anything I sent out.
The only other possibility I can think of is "uh-uh", but that looks wrong to me. The two syllables aren't pronounced identically, so I don't want to spell them identically.
I suppose there's also "nuh-uh", but that's a different word entirely.
Thoughts?
Edit: Should I upload a sound file somewhere?
