Your comment about morse just sounding like 'beep beep' reminded me of when back in 62/63 when our class of 17 and 18year olds were learning morse for the UK Marine Radio Exams. We had learnt the basics, but were told that to really drum it into our subconscious we should practice all the time by sounding off everything we saw written on anything. Also we had to use 'dah' and 'dit' instead of dash and dot as the sound length was right. So there we stood at the bus stop after college going "ditdahditdit dahdahdah dahdit etc" when a London Transport bus went passed. The non-students seemed to move away a couple of paces - I wonder why?
