For about 30 years, Michael Eck has been thinking about threes. Things that come in threes. Now he combines that esoteric interest with his attachment to the Internet by creating what he hopes will be the book with the most authors ever (a lot more than three, anyway). He suggests that in our minds we break concepts into three parts to understand whatever it is we are thinking about. We use threes to define systems. We use the third or middle point with regard to the extremes to define a point of view. Yadda yadda yadda.
The concept is simple. Just think of something that comes in threes, then go to this site and contribute it. For example: the colors on the American flag; Caesar's most famous words, "Veni, vidi, vici" ("I came, I saw, I conquered"); the number of legs on each side of an insect.
There are three ways to enter your thoughts into the Book of Threes. 1). You can join and request author rights by contacting us. 2). If you want to remain anonymous, log in with username: anonymous, and password: guest. 3). You can send us your ideas using Contact Us and we will enter the information for you.
Now it's your turn . . .

Language can be one of the most complex systems to understand and yet children as young as 3 or 4 years of age already begin to hold conversations in their daily lives. In learning a language, there are different cueing systems: Phonological, Syntactic, and Semantic. Each cueing systems have different terms that signify the structure of that particular cueing system.
- Phonological cueing system is based upon sounds.
- Syntactic cueing system, or Syntax, is about grammatical organization.
- The Semantic system conveys meaning of words.
