Editing Morse code (section)

===Spoken representation===
Morse code is often spoken or written with ''dah'' for dashes, ''dit'' for dots located at the end of a character, and ''di'' for dots located at the beginning or internally within the character. Thus, the following Morse code sequence:
{{small| {{blockquote|
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
M   O   R   S  E          C    O   D  E
−− −−− ·−· ··· · (space) −·−· −−− −·· ·
</syntaxhighlight>}} }}
is spoken (or sung):

{{small| {{blockquote|''{{nobr|Dah dah {{spaces|3}} dah dah dah {{spaces|3}} di dah dit {{spaces|3}} di di dit {{spaces|3}} dit, {{spaces|3}} }} {{spaces|3}} {{nobr| {{spaces|3}} Dah di dah dit {{spaces|3}} dah dah dah {{spaces|3}} dah di dit {{spaces|3}} dit. }}''}} }}

For use on radio, there is little point in learning to read ''written'' Morse as above; rather, the ''sounds'' of all of the letters and symbols need to be learned, for both sending and receiving.
