−·−− −−− ··− ·−· / ··· − ··− ·−−· ·· −··
"Your Stupid" in Morse code is −·−− −−− ··− ·−· / ··· − ··− ·−−· ·· −··.
Leave a short gap between letters and a longer gap between words. In writing, letters are separated by a space and words by a slash. At standard timing a dot lasts one unit, a dash three units, the gap inside a letter one unit, the gap between letters three units and the gap between words seven. "Your Stupid" takes 105 units, about 6.3 seconds at a speed of 20 words per minute.
Meaning: Morse code for "Your Stupid" (phrase)
What does it mean word for word?
Letter by letter: Y is −·−−, O is −−−, U is ··−, R is ·−·, S is ···, T is −, P is ·−−·, I is ·· and D is −··.
How do you pronounce it?
dah-di-dah-dah dah-dah-dah di-di-dah di-dah-dit / di-di-dit dah di-di-dah di-dah-dah-dit di-dit dah-di-dit
What mistakes should you avoid?
Keep the gaps between letters. Without them, Y −·−− can be read as T and W − ·−−, which changes the message.
