   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!
