Someone asked me about the difference between Morse code and Morse code. ;)
I remember receiving a book on Samuel Morse years ago when I was a teenager and the table confused me to no end until I learned the difference. ;)
It would have been so much less confusing had they labelled it Vail code but that's not what happened eh?

@va3db thank you for posting this. I'm trying to figure out some telegraphy stuff that I didn't know about, based on reading this article!
I think we get to the same place that RTTY gets, where you have to have a different "case" and re-use the symbols, because you literally run out of ways to name the symbols? If we want umlauts etc. then we can't have question marks etc unless we organize it. The way RTTY does it is to have a control character to switch between reused sets of encodings.
LTRSTHAT IS CORRECT.
