Well, I do remember enough Morse code to say that SOS is "dit-dit-dit, dah-dah-dah, dit-dit-dit". It's very easy to remember and recognize. There was a universal distress signal before that (1912 - HMS Titanic was the first ship to send an SOS) but I don't remember what it was. It was changed to SOS for "ease of use" as we would say.

I highly believe SOS means save our soul.
That sites gives no reasoning behind their claim, no one just picks letters for no reasoning.

This Is a simple one: BTW-bye the way.
I visited www.acronymfinder.com. Here is something I wanted to share. /SOS [not an acronym] a common misconception is that SOS means Save Our Ship/Souls (a distress call); the letters don't actually stand for anything./
I always wanted to know what SOS really meant. It is not an acronym at
all.
Cool site.
