It means approval. Nobody knows about its origin. One argument is it's the acronym for 'Oll Korrect' a corrupted form All Correct what was in vogue during 18 th century in some English speaking countries
It is new to me, Oll Korrect, thanks for this update. :whistle: :whistle:What does OK mean? is it an endorsement, is it in a positive sense or in a negative sense? :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: :whistle: OK

Still it is an unconfirmed view of certain sections of the language PUNDITS .there are scores of versions about the origin of OK.
Unarguably Ok or Okay is considered as the abbreviation of 'All Correct' but how did it come to be? Here's a great article I found which explains how it came to be and became so popular!

An article that has thrown light on it's origin to the evolution through 20th century made quite a good read. The good part of the article is how OK has simplified the conversation simple and crisp.

Strictly speaking the term 'ok' is grammatically incorrect. The correct term is 'okay'.
With the term OK there are no grammatical issues involved since OK was used as far back as 18th century and the OKAY spelling for that term was generated only very rece3ntly. Please do read the article link in my post!

Linguists say the aim of any language is its simplicity with effective penetration. OK is just an example.
Phonetically OK is easier to pronounce in English as well as non-English spoken countries.Unarguably Ok or Okay is considered as the abbreviation of 'All Correct' but how did it come to be?

Easy to pronounce. Easy to write. Easy to communicate . That's the purpose of a language. Those languages which do not possess these qualities have gone in to oblivion. Greek, Latin and our own Deva Bhasha Sanskrit are the examples.
This is the only word which is very popular in every country. The best way to express our peaceful agreement is to say okay as OK.
True. OK enjoys universal acceptance. Even an illiterate also uses OK.
There are also few more words like thank you, yes and no, which is understood and said by all.

Yes. Out of all, OK is the simplest, because of which it has penetrated deeply in to all the languages of the world.
Friends Ok is generally used in informal way of speaking or writing any message or letter. In case of any formal discussions or letters, OK is not used. Do you all agree with me?
Wrong, OK is an accepted word which is used in formal communications too, at least in corporate world, we use it a lot since it is a very clear and expletive confirmation of positive response.
