I thought it full of inaccuracies.

Morse did not invent the telegraph nor send the first telegraph message.

Morse's telegraph was the first commercially viable telegraph.

And, she kept calling it Morris Code.

As I often correct people, it is not Morris code, it Morse code.

Like horse, but with an 'M'.

Ok, back in my hole.
