TRUTH !!
According to AskOxford.com, Samuel Morse counted the number of times that
letters appeared in sets of printers' type. He needed to know which letters
were more common so that he could give the most commonly used letters the
simpler codes. The experts at Oxford did their own study using the 'Concise
Oxford Dictionary', and the results were the same--the letter 'E' is the
most commonly used letter.
