How do you spell OK?

Interesting background to this term, sometimes spelled OK, sometimes O.K., and sometimes okay. Notice the joke that made the rounds in the 1830s: OK originally was meant to indicate “all correct” — the joke being that neither O nor K were the initials of the term. Whichever you decide to use, stay with it (be consistent).
