which is the shortest word in english?

Answer 1

Depends on what you mean:

1) If you mean fewest letters there are THREE (not two, as many suggest):not just a and I, but also O (as used in addressing someone, e.g., in prayer -"O Lord")

2) If by shortest you mean the length of the PRINTED word, than "I" wins out over "a" and "O".

3) I you mean shortest in SOUND, that is, in the length of TIME it takes to speak it, "a" in expressions like "a man" (sounding like "uh") is the shortest/quickest to say. "O" and "I" take a bit longer because they actually each have a combination of TWO vowel sounds (a 'diphthong') -- "O" in English adds a quick u-sound to the end; "I" is pronounced "ah-ee". (When "a" is emphasized it is also a diphthong - "eh-ee".)

Actually, by this last measure "uh" and the exclamations "ooh!" and "ah!" and are as short as "a", and "oh" is the same as "O".
