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

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.

I received an email from a ham saying that he had
contacted Prudential and they had promised to correct
the Morse code S O S sounds. Is the following true?

SOS is usually sent as a prosign, i.e. a single dit
between tones?

I have never heard that is was sent as a prosign, but IMHO it would sound
weird.

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.

Yep, but they are using too large a gaps between the
dah's.. To any normal person, that would read TT..
It's the timing that is screwed up..
If they intend an M, the two dashes should be much
closer together to match the timing of the V and S.
