Quote:Any others anyone can think of from a somewhat modern context? I'm sure they occur, even though we don't value brevity in speech.
My own favourite is the one-word telegram sent by General Charles Napier when he captured the Indian province of Sindh in 1842: "peccavi" (Latin for "I have sinned") -- geddit? Smile
