:::::: A single line of one character is about the shortest I could think of (for the REXX example).     -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 17:56, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

::::::: What? Are you being deliberately stubborn or are you ''[gratuitous and inflammatory insult self-censored]''? Let me spell it out for you: one line that consists of (say) 50 characters is '''not''' in fact any more ''lines'' than one character.... --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 19:26, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

:::::::: Neither. &nbsp; There is no need to be insulting or vulgar. &nbsp; I merely said that one line of one character is the shortest I could think of. &nbsp; I never said (as you insultingly implied) that one line of &nbsp; '''x''' &nbsp; characters is less than one line of &nbsp; '''y''' &nbsp; characters. &nbsp; I was <u>not</u> commenting on the &nbsp; ''number'' &nbsp; of lines, just the number of ''characters''. &nbsp; Please try to be civil in your choice and tone of words. &nbsp; This <strike>is supposed to be a</strike> used to be a friendly website. &nbsp; Name calling and insults will not bring understanding nor consensus. &nbsp; It's inflammatory and insulting language like this that is giving Rosetta Code a bad reputation. &nbsp; Calm down and &nbsp;''then''&nbsp; compose. &nbsp; &nbsp; -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] ([[User talk:Gerard Schildberger|talk]]) 20:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
