Every 60 common 2-letter word in the English language

NOTES:
(a) These lists and all of our lists are admittedly arbitrary. If you want to remove or add words on any of the lists, feel free to do so. It can logically be argued that AW, CO, BI, HM, MM, OY, SH & UM are not words. We believe they are legitimate words, because they clearly convey meaning. A very good argument can be made that UH is a word. Put it in if you want to.
(b) All these lists are fairly comprehensive: you are unlikely to find any common words we missed.

Mimicry and repetition can help you teach the 2-letter words as easily as you teach the alphabet.
