It's Poo not Pooh

I can just see a bunch of wheelbarrows filled with little yellow bears.
Mybe there'd be less compaining when horses pooh on the road. Come and collect your own little pooh bear - although he may be in pieces.

My pony gets excited out hacking so it'd be a paw here, a leg there. Lol. Make your own pooh bear by following my pony!

I have just spat my coffee all over my keyboard, and work mates are looking at me in an odd way.
 
When I was younger, it was pooh. It only became poo when I left the North West in 1998. I always thought it was a regional thing!

Just looked it up and the word poo is quite new.

has poo not always been short for poop though, (as in the grammarist) and pooh been used in a completely different context, not meaning faeces :p, ie pooh-poohing?
 
I just looked up Pooh in the dictionary, and as well as the Pooh Bear, and the Pooh Poohing an idea, there is also "a childish term for faeces", so I guess the spelling Police may have got it wrong, and this may be an acceptable spelling.
 
As a child I was under the impression that 'pooh' was a more polite spelling. I've no idea where that came from, my mum probably made it up :)
