A telegram sent to another country is often called a {{U}}(21) {{/U}} When there is an {{U}}(22) {{/U}} message to give or a demand to make, the telegram is the quickest and most {{U}}(23) {{/U}} communication. It gives a {{U}}(24) {{/U}} message in the {{U}}(25) {{/U}} number of words, to reduce the cost.
The language of telegrams is often difficult, as there is no {{U}}(26) {{/U}} with the exception of the word "STOP". Recognized {{U}}(27) {{/U}} such as CIF, are also used but you must be careful to write signs which are recognized {{U}}(28) {{/U}}. There are various rules about the number of words. For example, {{U}}(29) {{/U}} words, such ms ready -made, are counted as one word.
The name of the {{U}}(30) {{/U}} is included in the number of words.
