=== Noncompliant code example

With the default comment pattern ``++^'\s*\S+\s*$++``, which ignores single word comments:

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!") ' Noncompliant - My first program!
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!") ' CompliantOneWord
  End Sub
End Module
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    ' Compliant - My first program!
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!")
    Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!") ' CompliantOneWord
  End Sub
End Module

\[~tamas.vajk] IMO we need to remove this exception (and possibly rename the parameter for clarity?)

\[~ann.campbell.2] All the other languages have this exception, and the parameter name is also similar there. Why do you think we'd need to fix these issues?
