Well, Ok Then
It's not often that the origin of a ubiquitous word can be traced with any certainty. It would seem that "ok" is actually one of those kinds of word. I thought its origin was much more recent, having to do with it being easily understood over a poor radio connection. As with most such things, it seems I was wrong.
Same here. I either read it or heard it in some class that OK originated with radio communication. It sounded like a good theory at the time!
