I’m curious as to your feelings on words such as bark, chirp, meow, splash, and mumble.

- JasonFruit 7y agoI think you fail to grasp my meaning. The inflection of "uh" in that sentence is a greater part of its meaning than the pronunciation of the word, unlike the examples you gave. Onomatopoeia is a fine way to develop new words; inarticulate grunts that communicate hesitation in spoken conversation do not translate well to writing.
