In the Morse code days, when sending long messages could be arduous, a useful shorthand was to respond with single, meaningful letters.
Responding to a message with the letter “R,” for example, simply let the sender know their message had been received. When two-way radio came along, the shorthand continued, but with the word “Roger” instead of “R” itself.
