Reply to comment by Sutartsore 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
It's binary - sound or silence.
If different-length silences are all the same character, so are different-length sounds.
You could say it has 5 characters (dot, dash, 3 different blanks) or 2, but 3 doesn't make any sense.

Presumably somewhere that speaks a Romance language, and it'll retard in the sense of to slow down / delay.
Given the name it's next to I'd have to assume Italian
(Also the UK doesn't use the Euro)
