Hog-Morse was telegraphers' jargon for the tendency of inexperienced telegraph operators to make errors when sending or receiving in Morse code. The term was current in the United States during the period when American Morse code was still in use. It is so called after one example (here given in International Morse but most likely originating in American Morse): ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ (HOME) becomes ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄ (HOG), with just one subtle error in timing.
