what/is/your/favorite/thing/about/cw?, what do I win?????
"Marconi Was The First LID!"
"Far better it is to tempt mighty things, than to take rank with those timid creatures that know neither victory or defeat!"
"Eleftheria h thanatos" (Greek for Freedom or Death)
"Molon Labe" (Greek, King Leonidas to the persians regarding their weapons "Come and Take Them!").
When the people fear the government there is tyranny; when the government fears the people there is liberty!
When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away.

How about some Top Ramon?

Does it say "Drink more Ovaltine"?

Nope. It says: "Eat mor chikin."

If you have to worry about the cost of HF e-mail, you can't afford the boat.

Code is for the ear, not the eye.
Wrongo. original intent was to run paper under the arm of the old clacker style hard wired telegraph receiver, with a pen in the arm. resulting ticker tape would give a hard copy of the original message. this is why Morse code is referred to as dots and dashes, not dits and dahs, in old books.
telegraph operators learned what the letters sound like and wrote it as it came in. the pens didn't work out well with the moving ticker tape.
An empty head is not really empty; it is stuffed with rubbish. Hence the difficulty of forcing anything into an empty head. Eric Hoffer

your failure to comprehend does not compel me to explain.
Wise people talk because they have something to say. Fools talk because they have to say something.
Expect to get half of what you earn, a quarter of what is your due, and none of what you have lent, and you will be near the mark.

Didn't they use Morse with signal lamps on ships?
My first Morse code experience was with these when I was about 10 years old.

True, original intent. But if we're going to limit the discussion to original intent, we'd have to limit the discussion to American code, as opposed to the IMC we use today. Thus, by original intent, all attempts to write out code should be limited to American Morse, and the OP used IMC. We could also argue whether bugs, developed for use with American code on wired circuits, are suitable for use with IMC on wireless.
But leave those worms in the can. This discussion is about the aesthetic appeal of using code. And transmitted dits and dahs are easier on the ear than written dots and dashes are on the eyes and aural interpretation is more intuitive and instantaneous than visual.

Bottom line though is it is a pain in the ass to type out Morse code using periods and hypens, and an even bigger pain to try and read it with the human eye.
CW is for the ears not the eyes. Morse code could be for both I suppose if you really want to slow down transmission times.
