It is a binary code.              AK> First, it is not a binary code, BTW, I tell you as a       AK> programmer.              Can you explain to me why Morse code is not binary?              AK> Second, why it is wrong to say that, for instance, a       AK> language consists of words?              Because in addition to words language has high-level struc-       ture, i.e. grammar and syntax.              AK> Should I say it consists of letters?              No. Even words do not consist of letters, because they ex-       isted before writing was invented.              ---         * Origin: nntp://news.fidonet.fi (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 105/81 120/340 123/131 129/305 221/1 6 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 664 1016 1017 240/1120 1634 1895       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5138 5411 5824 5832 5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 261/38 280/5003 282/1038 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 331/313 333/808 335/206 364 370 342/200 371/52 382/147 2454/119       SEEN-BY: 4500/1 5020/1042       PATH: 221/6 335/364 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
