Birthday of Samuel Finley Breese Morse (1791-1872), whose very useful invention showed linguistic awareness by correlating (inversely) the length of a code sequence with the frequency of the corresponding letter in English.
The famous "What hath God wrought" (no punctuation) message was sent in 1838 from the Supreme Court room in the Capitol in Washington to Morse's assistant Alford Vail in Baltimore (about 50km away).
