spelling that exclamation of disgust

[Dale Coye]

The NY Times today in an article on junior high students said that the
coolest boys do not do anything that could be considered girlish, like say "eyew"--
is this the way we want to spell that?  And anyway, who gets to choose?  Some
editor at the NY Times? Maybe along with the WOTY announcements, this year the
ADS should come out with an official recommendation for this expression.   I
think I might favor something more like ee-yoo, to make it clearer what the
onset is.   And by the way--is this a new phoneme for Americans? The only
example in its class?
