Not only that, at a recent meeting, the ITU-T (Telecommunications
Group, which defines coding) put forth a definition for a _new_
character in International Morse - the "at" sign (@). It's
.__._. (_AC_).

So much for "Morse is dead".

Hopefully they decided to define all the other characters and set the
timing for a dot, a dash, an intercharacter space, and an interword
space.

So much for, "Morse is alive."
