what is ok refers to?

Question

the word ok as yes, what is the exact word of it?

Answer 1

The oldest written references to 'OK' result from its adoption as a slogan by the Democratic party during the American Presidential election of 1840. Their candidate, President Martin Van Buren, was nicknamed 'Old Kinderhook' (after his birthplace in New York State), and his supporters formed the 'OK Club'.

This undoubtedly helped to popularize the term (though it did not get President Van Buren re-elected!). During the late 1830s there had been a brief but widespread craze in the US for humorous misspellings, and the form orl korrekt which was among them could explain the initials 'OK'. Such a theory has been supported by more than one distinguished American scholar, and is given in many dictionaries, including Oxford dictionaries.

The only other theory with at least a degree of plausibility is that the term originated among Black slaves of West African origin, and represents a word meaning 'all right, yes indeed' in various West African languages. Unfortunately, historical evidence enabling the origin of this expression to be finally and firmly established may be hard to unearth

a million) Trinity Is A Mystery, Or Rather To Difficult For Modern Human Minds To Understand. two) I Don't Think The Hebrew Had A Word For The Dinosaurs. three) Your Right It Is Highly Unlikely. To Bad I Don't Interpret The Bible Literally. four) If I Were To Go To Africa I Would See A Black Jesus; In Mexico, A Lightly Skinned Hispanic Man As Jesus; In Japan, A Japanese Jesus. So No It Doesn't Bother Me Knowing That Here In America I See A White Jesus. But Apparently You Do. five) I Don't Believe HaSatan/Lucifer Is Evil, Nor Do I Believe He Literally Exists. He Is A Metaphor For Evil/Human Nature. 6) Wow... Really? Whats Up With You An White People. 7) God Is Evil Eh... Well I Guess That's Who You View What Good And Evil Is. But I Will Say This, The Bible Is A Book Of Morals, Its Meant To Teach. It Does So Through The Use Of Poetry And Short Stories That Are Written In Hebrew And Later In Greek. Poetry Was Never Meant To Be Interpreted Literally And Through Time We Have Seen What Has Happened. God Is Evil? Fine, But Don't There And Type About How Much People God Has Killed Because Last Time I Checked If God Really Existed Then He Has Been Killing People Since The Beginning Of Time. Does It Matter If My Neighbor Died Of Natural Causes Or Its Written That God Drowned All The Evil People Back In The Day.
