 | | Contractions that do not save space only complicate the learnability and applicability of the code and may block the usage of dot combinations for frequent letter strings that would warrant their contracted representation but are not included in the code (Durre, 1992). |
 | | The top space savers are those that either have their own unique dot pattern (such as th, the, in, and, and er) or are alphabet letter contractions (such as that, people, have, and will). |
 | | The best space saver is th, with a normed space-saving capacity of 216.31, followed by the, in, and, and er, all of which have a normed space-saving capacity of more than 100. |
