In English spelling , the threeletter rule or short word rule is the observation that one and two letter words tend to be function words such as I , at , he , if , of , or , etc. As a consequence of the rule, content word s tend to have at least threeLetter alphabet letters . In particular, content words containing fewer than three phoneme s may be augmented with letters which are phonetically redundant, such as eb b , ad d , eg g , in n , be e , aw e , b u y , o we , etc. Origin unreferenced section date December 2011 Many content words would be homograph s of common function words if not for the latter s redundant letters e.g. be bee , in inn , I eye , to two . Otto Jespersen , describing the phenomenon in 1909, suggested the short spelling was a marker of reduced Lexical stress stress . Content words always have at least one stressed syllable , whereas function words are Weak form and strong form often completely unstressed shorter spellings help to reflect this. Interjection s such as ah , eh , lo , yo are always stressed. Punctuation serves to isolate these elements.

Through to the seventeenth century, before English spelling was firmly settled, short forms for some content words did occur, such as eg egg , ey eye , lo low , etc. Conversely, poets such as John Milton alternated between short and long forms for function words, depending on whether they occurred on or off the poetic meter meter .
