Has anyone else noticed that the Prudential commercial
on TV is sending SMS instead of SOS?

Yep. But it is so poorly sent that is seems like "VTTS" to me.

There must be more than one version of that
commercial. On the one I viewed, there were
only two dahs.

In the UK, the only 'SMS' morse I've ever heard is 'SMS' with no breaks
(di-di-di-dah-dah-di-di-dit). Why would it be otherwise?

It appears that, for that Prudential commercial, the
spacing between the dahs is longer than the spacing
between the dits.

In whatever case ....on CBS "Sunday Morning" today, I heard the commercial
with the corrected morse. It now says "S O S", with word spacing
between the characters. Wonder if they got "helpful feedback" from the ham
community. :)
