So is "yes". Like "Yes." in answering to that question. Therefore it must be true if the prior one is true too :tongue2 |

No. ;)
A sentence needs a subject ("I") and a verb ("am") otherwise it isn't a sentence. So unless someone can think of a smaller subject than "I" or a smaller verb than "am" then "I am" is pretty much the smallest possible sentence. |

The word 'Golf' pre-dates clubhouses, sign writing and the very idea that any lady should even consider chasing a tiny ball from one hole to another around a big field by hitting it with a stick - they had more sense.
The true part is that golf was invented in Scotland. |
