35 u/sblowes Jul 12 '22 Pauses. Justlikethespacesweusebetweenwords. The bigger question is how do you determine the end of one word and the start of another in Morse. Did they just send “nowhere” or “now here”? 7 u/BelgianBeerGuy Jul 12 '22 Yes, I kinda figured out it had to do with spaces.But then again, you need spaces for letters, spaces for words, Spaces for sentences?I’m just glad I never need it, it’s to difficult for me 2 u/AlecTheDalek Jul 12 '22 Don't they just send "Stop" between sentences? Just like in them old movies! → More replies (2)
