I've always known SOS as a signal for help, but I'm curious about its origin and current meaning. Does it still stand for the same thing it originally did, or has its meaning evolved over time?

    Contrary to these beliefs, the letters do not form an acronym for individual words.

    There is a common misconception about a particular set of letters.

    Many individuals mistakenly interpret these letters to mean "save our souls."

    Another popular but incorrect interpretation is that they stand for "save our ship."

    In reality, the letters do not represent any specific phrase or meaning.
