Reply to comment by Snoo92843 in ELI5: Morse code is made up of dots and dashes. How did telegraph operators keep from losing track of where one letter ended and another began? by copperdomebodhi
One notes that if one “misses” the end of the word, one can often work out what was meant, just as if one misses aspace in typing, as I just did.
This is similar to the Japanese and Chinese style writing where each “character” is made up of different sub parts.
