[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm from the midatlantic and I use Phew and whew but differently. Whew is for accomplishing something, getting it done, or dodging a bullet - Whew, that's a relief, Whew, that was hard work. Phew is more for starting something tough - Phew this is going to be hard work. Keep going. THat sounds ridiculous I know. [/quote] [b]I don’t think it’s ridiculous. I’m midatlantic too, and to me phew = “that was a close call” and whew = “that was hard work.”[/b][/quote] +1, from Michigan. Phew definitely conveys relief from something scary/unfortunate.[/quote] +2, also a Michigander.[/quote]
