Som tydligvis ikke er helt korrekt:

Wikipedia: Okay is a term of approval, assent, or acknowledgment, often written as OK or O.K.. This is also known as AOK. When used to describe the quality of a thing, it denotes acceptability. However, its usage can also be strongly approving; as with most slang, its usage is determined by context.

 

The historical record shows that O.K. appeared as an abbreviation for "oll korrect" (a conscious misspelling of "all correct") in Boston newspapers in 1839, and was reinterpreted as "Old Kinderhook" in the 1840 United States presidential election. Because it is a recent word born of word play, and because it is so widely used, O.K. has also invited many folk etymologies. These competing theories are not supported by the historical written record, except in that folk and joke etymologies influenced the true history of the word. Since the 19th century, the word has spread around the world, the okay spelling of it first appearing in British writing in the 1860s. Spelled out in full in the 20th century, 'okay' has come to be in everyday use among English speakers, and borrowed by non-English speakers.

Vel, vi må vel nesten bare stole på språkrådet.

If Wikipedia say so, it must be true

[Goliath]

Wikipedia er i utgangspunktet en dårlig kilde. Man kan tom. få stryk på eksamen i høyere utdanning fordi det ikke blir ansett som en pålitelig kilde.

[steinar2000]

Har alltid forestilt meg at «ok» er en forkortelse for «okay».

[2ball_]

Ingenting.

[athorb]

Er ikke okay bare forenkling av O.K.?

[Morgaine]

Hehe, dette har jeg alltid lurt på

I motsettning til meg som aldri har tenkt på det

 

snodige saker.. trodde OK på en måte var ett eget "slengord" liksom

[Arinomi]

Okay er da vitterlig O.K. uttalt på engelsk?

[steinar2000]

Jepp.

Vel, vi må vel nesten bare stole på språkrådet.

Språkrådet er de siste jeg ville stolt på i språkspørsmål.

[athorb]

Nei, de har garantert ingen greie på det.
