I have no idea. It's anoying so don't do it. Even beter try searching for OK. You get 10 times as many hits!

Language is cultural and not just about vocabulary. In the Far East where language is often the second language, you will often hear the word -lah used in the same context that "OK" is being used. Their first language uses -lah less as a word but more as a soothing pleasantry - like an "verbal" arm around for reasurance. Foreigners often ask the same question i.e Is it required! - No! is the short answer. Yes! if you want to communicate and not be misunderstood - there is an emotional element in Language. Good communicators instinctively understand this aspect.

No, it isn't required, but a lot of people begin statements in everyday conversation with the word OK (or okay), as in, "OK, I was waiting for the bus . . ."

I think is just a way to open up a conversation. Like using the word like, like, hum, hu, ect. I do not think it is proper english.

No it is not required. Some kind of affirmation is polite though.
