Always hear abt SOS.
Ever wondered what it stands for?
The SOS signal was adopted on account of its easy radiation and its unmistakable character.
There is no special signification in the letter themselves.
It is wrong to put full stops between the letters.
All the popular interpretations of "SOS," "Save our Ship," "Save Our Souls" etc. are not valid.
