I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied version of android.

    SOS doesn’t stand for anything. People made it up later.

    Ah, so is it a backronym, then? Neat, I didn’t know that.

    The original distress signal was CQD, which stood for “seeking you, distress”

    How did they decide on those letters? Is it relevant that “CQ” sounds a bit like “seek you”?
