- saghm 9y ago> Also, isthereaproblemwithnospaceswhentryingtosaveyourlife? I think that's a bit of an oversimplification since there's no ambiguity in text about where one letter ends and the other begins. The issue isn't spacing between words, it's spacing between _letters_
- thaumasiotes 9y agoGP comment stated that four symbols (dot, dash, short pause, long pause) were required for Morse code. This is wrong; Morse code involves three symbols, dot, dash, and pause. I assume your parent comment interpreted the spurious requirement for "long pause" as an assumption that for communication to take place, you'd have to have a robust distinction between letter spacing and word spacing.
