And, S O S is an abbreviation for save our souls. And since S is three dots "actually dit"... a single/short click, beep or flash depending on the signaling method. I don't think morse designed the code so that ... --- ... would mean help/mayday/sos on purpose.

You are correct about ...---...
Dead wrong about save our souls. Sorry, but SOS as a distress signal was created by the Germans. Not the English and not the Americans. Not by Morse, who only created the code not the distress signal.
Unless you want to argue that save our souls is German??
