What Does SOS mean?
I need some support or I need help
SOS is a morse code distress signal. The code was adopted because of the sequence of 3 dashes, 3 dots and 3 dashes. The letters were not chosen because of any meaning or acronym.
I mean what does the 'S'stand for what does the O stand for and what does the S stand for
SOS (ĕs'ō-ĕs')http://media.ask.com/hm/audio.gif
noun
- The letters represented by the Morse Code signal · · · – – – · · ·, used as an international distress signal, especially by ships and aircraft.
- A call or signal for help.
Well it is for sure that SOS does not stand for the following:
iSave Our Ship/Souls", for "Stop Other Signals", for "Send Our Saviour/Succour", for "Sure of Sinking", or for the Russian _Spasiti Ot Smerti_ (= "save from death"). The signal "...---...", recommended for international distress calls at the international Radio Telegraph Conference of 1906 and officially adopted in 1908, was not chosen for any alphabetic significance.
