Its immediate predecessors were homing pigeons, visual networks, the Pony Express, and railroads. By transmitting information quickly over long distances, the telegraph facilitated the growth in the railroads, consolidated financial and commodity markets, and reduced information costs within and between firms.

Developed in the 1830s and 1840s by Samuel Morse (1791-1872) and other inventors, the telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. It worked by transmitting electrical signals over a wire laid between stations.

Prior to the electric telegraph, semaphore systems were used, including beacons, smoke signals, flag semaphore, and optical telegraphs for visual signals to communicate over distances of land. At the sending station, an operator would tap on a switch called a telegraph key, spelling out text messages in Morse code.

His system used an automatic sender consisting of a plate with long and short metal bars representing the Morse code equivalent of the alphabet and numbers. The operator slid a pointer connected to a battery and the sending wire across the bars, and immediately the appropriate dots and dashes were sent over the line.

It is no longer a major means of commercial or maritime communications, but it is still used by amateur radio operators. New technology and devices kept appearing and led to a continual evolution of the telegraph industry during the latter half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.

Today, American Morse code is nearly extinct. A few amateur radio users and Civil War re-enactors still keep it alive. Morse code became extremely important in maritime shipping and aviation. Pilots were required to know how to communicate using Morse code up until the 1990s.

If you were to actually say it in Morse code, using speech, you would say, “Di-dit, di-dah-di-dit dah-dah-dah di-di-di-dah dit, dah-di-dah-dah dah-dah-dah di-di-dah. This is an acceptable way of articulating Morse code with speech.

Global Maritime Distress and Safety System

Morse Code was created in the early 1940s by Alfred Vail, for use in Samuel Morse’s telegraph. It represents a universal language because it is only one Morse code for the entire planet to use and to take advantage of.

The name refers to Morse code: Three dots and a dash is Morse code for the letter V, and that was used to symbolize victory in World War II. So this is kind of like victory for tiki in Chicago?

best regards

SOS was chosen as the universal distress signal because this combination of three dots followed by three dashes followed by three dots (…—…), was easy to send and easily recognized, especially since they were usually sent as a nine-character signal, which stood out against the background of three-character Morse Code …

Laughing My Ass Off

“Bae,” Urban Dictionary says, is an acronym that stands for “before anyone else,” or a shortened version of baby or babe, another word for sweetie, and, mostly unrelated, poop in Danish. In addition, “bae” has appeared in rap songs and countless web memes since the mid-2000’s.

No matter the situation, though, it seems safe to say that the best way to respond to “lmao” is to start talking about something else. That way whether they are bored, shy, or just don’t know what to say, you will continue the convo.

LMAO is an acronym that means “laughing my ass off.” Some people use it as a synonym for LOL. It’s best to use LMAO informal conversations because it contains the word ass. Some might consider this a swear word and take offense.

I Love You

too long; didn’t

A lone “TLDR?” without any explanation could be an intentionally rude or funny comment. In most cases, though, it’s just a witty acknowledgment that a small chunk of text is easier to digest than a large wall of text. That said, you’ll rarely see a lone “TLDR” in the comments for a web article (or anywhere, really).

You can use the CONCEPT of a tl;dr in a formal mail. just don’t NAME it that. Call it “summary” or a similar term. Clients will love a short and to the point conclusion, because it means they don’t need to read a 50 line email if they can’t or don’t want to.

When you have a particularly wordy message, you can include a TLDR; summary at the top. TLDR; came from message boards when someone would go into a really long discussion on something. In the end, they would include TLDR; which stands for Too Long, Didn’t Read, and a one-sentence summary of the entire message.

TL;DR: This is when Reddit can get sassy. Someone will use this expression to say, “too long; didn’t read.” Sometimes on Reddit, people can write entire essays in their response.

tl;dr If the tl;dr is important information, put it at the top. If it’s for convenience, put it at the bottom. The tl;dr at the end is often the result of an unthinking or lazy writer.

Nowadays, most users write the TLDR abbreviation as simply TLDR. Its older and most proper form is TL;DR, which includes a semicolon between the L and D. You might also see the TLDR acronym written as TL/DR or TL/DNR, which stands for did not read.

If one was to have a TL:DR, it should be at the beginning. For one, it’s there for people who what to get the message of the answer but don’t want to read it. If it’s at the beginning, the person knows they don’t have to read but can still take something away.

I think by S worded they mean a swear word/ curse word.
