Actually the word "Paris" .--. .- .-. .. ... is the standard for one "word" in Morse code.
I practiced receiving Morse by listening on HF around 14.1 Mhz. Some of those Amateurs could boot out CW at a hell of a pace!
My Morse test (at P&T Port Moresby for Marine and Amateur Licensing) also included the Q Codes.
The best I remember was the Coastal Radio operators in the 1950s. They could receive one message in CW/Morse whilst sending another, simultaneously monitoring the Emergency HF frequency and holding a conversation!
