Update on spelling OK

Webster’s dictionary has come to the conclusion that OK is okay as the preferred spelling. In an earlier blog entry, The Grammar Anarchist told the joke about OK standing for “all correct”. Research turns up the story that OK actually stands for “oll korreck” which was used by President Andrew Jackson to approve bills. Yeah! He wasn’t the best speller in the country. My choice remains with “okay”. I still cannot see letters as words. Now you must decide: OK, O.K., or okay?
