Have you guys noticed people stopped putting the periods in between O and K?

[her209]

When I was growing up, people abbreviated okay as o.k. Now its just ok.

What's up with that?

 

[HybridSquirrel]

[paulxcook]

It's in the dictonary as ok, I believe. Multiple forms are now acceptable.

 

[burntfish]

[JulesMaximus]

I never spell it like that. I always use okay.

 

[pcslookout]

No one cares.

OK is not an abbreviation of okay, k? Educate yourself.

 

[clamum]

Yeah there's multiple accepted forms. I usually just use "ok" or "okay".

I've always wondered where the word came from ("okay").

Okay came from o.k., ok? See my link above.

What I posted came from Merriam-Webster. Seems to me that using either okay or OK is acceptable and that they both carry the same meaning.

 

[Capt Caveman]

ok

 

[waffleironhead]

Would you prefer a world where people used s.t.f.u. and g.t.f.o. or l.o.l. ore even r.o.t.f.l.m.a.o.

yeah ok is fine with me.

language evolves, get with it or be left behind.

[IceBergSLiM]

just Be happy that this is your greatest worry in life.

 

[aplefka]

I've never understood it abbreviated at O.K. because it doesn't stand for anything, it's just a shorter spelling.

Edit: I stand corrected. Should have read further down.

 

[outofloop]

Well, now that Kay has posted I think we can put this to rest.

Thank you Kay. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:

 

[SpunkyJones]

O.K. was K.O.'d by ok, k?

 

[imported_yovonbishop]

Generally I just spell it out as "okay" rather than OK, ok or O.K. The extra two letters aren't going to take up too much time I suppose. Now "thanx" is what really gets me going. Urgh.

 

[FoBoT]

why did it have periods? that implies it means two words, something that starts with 'o' and something that starts with 'k'
?


what are the two words?

i don't think it ever had periods, you made that up

 

[sandorski]

The periods are annoying to type. Just like the game S.T.A.L.K.E.R., I'm not going to type all that s*** everytime. Deal with it.
