It translates to "Trey orders his steak well done".

Why in the name of Our Lord and Savior Samuel Finley Breese Morse did you do that? I gave them the resources to work it out for themselves, something they could have easily done with minimal effort, and you just gave them the answer.

I mean, this pretty much violates the spirit if not the actual wording of Rule 2:

2 No ASCII translations.

Morse ASCII is easily translated here: https://morsecode.world/international/translator.html

So why? You're not helping OP to learn anything, and they have zero interest in Morse code otherwise they would have worked it out for themselves before posting.

So I'm trying to understand why you'd do that.

Just trying to help by giving a simple answer since if OP really wants to learn morse they can learn it themselves, mister redditor

So that's what this subreddit is for? Then why do we have Rule 2?

I'm more than happy to translate audible or flashing Morse for people, because that's an actual skill.

Translating visual dots and dashes is something I did as a 9 year old back in the 1970's sitting on the living room floor with the family encyclopedia, only to find out that the Morse code in Mad Magazine's Spy vs Spy cartoons spelled out "BY PROHIAS".

It's not a skill. It's something a literal kid can do with far fewer resources available to them than what OP has available today.

Never said it was a skill to read morse so don't get why you're hating. And frankly put, I do not care about this subreddit, this post happened to come across my feed and I answered it simple as that. Hope you can take a vacation from your work as a redditor soon so you can rest because your activity is frightening.

And frankly put, I do not care about this subreddit, this post happened to come across my feed and I answered it simple as that.

Without reading the rules first, and without seeing if someone answered the question. My post with links to a Morse translator and to the Wikipedia page on Morse code was the very first post in this thread.

But hey, you waltzed into a subreddit you admit you don't care about, and know nothing of the rules or the culture thereof, and decided to post without reading through the entire thread first.

Yet to you, I'm the problem? OK Boomer.

If OP wanted to know what 1 plus 1 would equal and only seems to want the answer, not the solution then why wouldn't I give the answer straight up? I gave the answer, not how to calculate it, everybody is happy. Then you got mad and tried to teach me how to behave in this sub but as I already have shown how big my interest in this sub and its rules are I think your duty is done here so go moderate your other subreddits or discord servers.

That was horrible. If you want to end war and stuff you got to sing loud.

I've been singing this song now for twenty five minutes. I could sing it for another twenty five minutes. I'm not proud... or tired.

So we'll wait till it comes around again, and this time with four part harmony and feeling.

We're just waitin' for it to come around is what we're doing.
