Any sentence said in this thread is automatically not the least used sentence, because the least used sentence is one that has never been said or thought of before.
This person's logic is irrefutable.

Tsk, there's always one.

If anyone else here has lived through that horror, I salute you.

I know what the shortest is...

(it's "go.")
no it isn't
yes it is

the subject is "implied" while the verb is only two letters long...

...and if it isn't the shortest then what is?
the shortest is "a."

in conversation:

"I went to an concert today"
"a."
"what do you mean, a.?"
"I meant, the correct sentence would have been "I went to a concert today"."
"oh, I see"

no no, see what you did there is not a complete sentence...

its something that comes up in conversation, yes...

but it is not a complete sentence...

why is it not complete? the object is present (I think that's meant to be the object at least), and similarly to yours the subject and verb are implied

you cant imply both the subject and the verb...then you dont have a sentence! plane and simple!!!
