Don't you mean --... ...-- .----. ... ?  :-)

My pet peeve is use of that damned "BK".  "KN" doesn't make much sense
either...that's actually an open parenthesis.  Both are just ham-only
prosigns that would never have been heard on professional military or
commercial Morse radiotelegraph circuits. 

What's wrong with the military standard:  If a response is expected from
the other station, send "K" (equivalent to phone "OVER").  If a response
is not expected, send "AR" (equivalent to phone "OUT").  That's it in total!

There's zero value to that repulsive "BK" that has spread like an ugly
malignant Morse teratoma among many hams in the past decade or so.
