"Go." is not a complete sentance.
It could be a complete sentence, but that's not the question here.

I'm pretty sure you've been spelling sentence wrong throughout the thread.

Hahaha.
I guess you didn't even read your own source, because it says that "I go." is the shirtest sentence.

That is if "Go." wasn't correct, and it is.

I know, I always spell it wrong, it's a habbit, no biggy.
Here's what it says.

The Shortest Sentence in the English Language
Contrary to what you may have found doing an Internet search, the shortest English language sentence is not “I am.” Follow along now—it does get technical.
“I am,” first of all, is not a sentence. An English sentence must have a subject / predicate relationship, and the key element in that relationship is the type of verb that creates the predicate. Verbs either show action or they do not. Verbs without action, such as “am,” when used as a predicate, must have something to complete the meaning—a complement. So you “am” “something.” “I am happy” is a sentence since “happy” is fulfilling the complement role. Therefore, “I am” is not a sentence.
The shortest English sentence is probably “Go.” “Go” is an action verb and can be used in imperative mood, which means that it can be used with good, old “You Understood.” So “Go” actually means “You go.” On the other hand, if that interpretation doesn’t strike your fancy, let’s say that understood meanings are disallowed, then “I go” is the shortest sentence. “Go” doesn’t require a complement since it is an action verb nor does it require a direct object. With a total of three letters—the same number as the illegal “I am” contender—“I go” should reign as the champion, unless someone out there knows of a single letter verb. (No fair pulling in Old English and foreign languages.)

No problem, except that answer may not be completely correct after looking at Flinch's. I think it has to do with a combination of both, so I'd use a little bit of a combination if I were you. Glad to have been of some assistance.
