I disagree with this statement 'I am is the shortest complete sentence in the English language'

Wouldn't it be 'Go!' since the verb 'you' is understood to be the subject?

he did say *complete* sentence, though... smiley - winkeye Otherwise I'd be nominating a nod, which is no words long, as in:

"Are you ok?"
*nod*

where "I am ok" is understood to be the subject, object, and verb... smiley - tongueout
