How could someone understand incoming Morse code ?

Even if the receiver knows every sequence code for letters and symbols by head, how does he know where one letter starts and ends and how does he prevent overlap of 2 letter codes getting mixed up ?

there is a slightly longer gap between each letter. People also have accents and behavioral patterns when tapping out morse code so skilled operators could recognize each other by their tapping.

Eventually two operators that were used to each other could speed up and keep track of each letter so didnt need as much of a pause between letters. There is also grammatical context if you were tracking the message from the beginning. If they say pat the you will be more aware of a letter D starting for dog.

The options are dot dash and blank
So if instead of a dot or a dash, there is a blank, then its likely to be a new letter beginning.
