the question why do so many of you start with OK?

I sometimes do this because I speak out loud as I type. It helps me to keep my train of thought on track. Unfortunately, it's gotten me into the habit of including "space savers" in my typing. The only reason I didn't start this answer out with "okay," "well," or "let's see," is because I'm making the conscious effort not to.

It's probably a similar circumstance with other people as well:)

It saves a lot of preamble as in Now i have your attention i am about to explain to you what it is that i am about to ask do you understand what i have said up to now if not you may wish to bypass my question and read a shorter one with less of an introduction.OK!

OK, so it's a verbal oddity that some people start sentences with "OK."

When speaking, it's sort of like saying "I'm going to start my explanation or narrative now, am assmebling my thoughts, and expecting your attention."

Some people write like they talk.

OK?

i don't know that is weird though cause most people do it. i guess it is such a long story they say ok to let you know they are starting.

"OK" is sure a lot better than a message starting with IDK and then filled with tons of text garbage.
