#HappyBirthday to Y'all (in the #January11 #BirthdayCohort with #AmandaPeet @realAmandaPeet & @MaxLucado & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #LearnYourNameInMorseCodeDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass @CopelandNetwork
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
TimeAndDate confirms this day's status (as the day to learn your name in #MorseCode) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
Morse Code (a.k.a. #MorseKey) is named after its inventor Samuel F.B. #Morse, whose surname is a variant of the surname based on the given name #Morris, a medieval form of #Maurice, derivative of a name that means Dark-Skinned (|Moorish).
I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Capricorn ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Alexander Hamilton, Mary J. Blige, Amanda Peet, Naomi Judd, Brother Max Lucado
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!
