Hi, All!

Morse's code consists of letters, digits and punctuation marks. But punctuation marks are rather exotic Morse codes and many people don't use them. For instance, when I lived in the USSR, I could receive a telegram that looked like this:

Great wishes for birthday ZPT hope you are well ZPT see you soon TCHK

ZPT and TCHK are Russian abbreviation (written in Latin letters here) for a comma and full stop. Did you have in old times something similar when a postman brought you (paper) telegrams?

I think it is not necessary to remind you that a paper telegram is a postcard with telegram lines glued on it.

Bye, All!
Alexander Koryagin
