    This is different from the International Morse Code which the rest of the world uses. I actually didn’t even know about the American version up to now.

      It’s not in modern use, it’s an artifact from before there was an international standard.

      Americans don’t even use it any more; it came before there was an international version so it’s kind of silly to treat it like some weird ‘america different’ thing.

      Russia still uses their version, especially in the navy.
