No.

Are you kidding me? I just answered "no" first, and a little pop-up told me that my response has to be 10 letters long. Wassup with that?

How about this, Brad......"no fuking way". That's 11 letters.

Really?

wow. I just did it and that's very strange. No kidding. What is the reason behind that, I wonder? No more contests for the shortest reply. . .

Cool

I have experienced that too. I came to the conclusion, you have to speak in complete sentences.

"No" isn't a complete sentence?

A complete sentence requires a subject and a verb. Either may be implied. But the word "no" doesn't fulfill the requirement.

Is "I am" the shortest English sentence?

29-May-1998

Dear Cecil:
A page of fun facts making the rounds says "I am" is the shortest complete sentence in English. Can this be true? --Jim Kepler, Chicago
Dear Jim:
No.
You object: "No" isn't a sentence! A sentence needs a predicate!
Oh, OK. Ready?
Go.
You object again: That's cheating! The subject is only implied! Who could possibly call that a sentence?
I.
Yeah, right, you say. And we're supposed to just take your word for it?

Boy, I wish I could take credit for that little bit of computer programming, but my programming expertise is in FORTRAN, and my sister, who really is a computer software expert in real life, has been in Atlanta since mid-November working on a project for one of her clients, and is really too busy to help me with some a small programming quirk as this; having said that, I probably could have come up with this idea because I really did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I could go on and on and on about the whether the scorebook should be signed before or after or at all but then my post would get wordier and wordier.
