Hog-morse was the tendency of inexperienced telegraph operators to make errors when sending or receiving in morse code, so called after one example, "home" (.... --- ..- ... .) becoming "hog" (.... --- --.). One example given in the literature is "please fill me in" becoming "6naz fimme q"[1]. One commentator has called this the 19th century autocorrect. [2]
