badgerx16 Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 Ahhhhhhh b*ll*cks. Typographical mistakes don't count. So if you miss an 's' it doesn't count, but if I miss a ' ' it does - double standards or what ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponty Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 So if you miss an 's' it doesn't count, but if I miss a ' ' it does - double standards or what ? Ok, we'll trade the "s" and the "space". That still leaves you with 2 unnecessary commas and a missing full-stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Full-stop" shouldn't be hyphenated. "Ok" should be written as OK. Small numbers should be written with letters, not given as numerals.

Arizona Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 At the risk of being proven wrong and looking like a massive tool... I think "OK should be written as O.K." as it was originally an acronym. No idea what for though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simples Posted 8 December, 2009 Share Posted 8 December, 2009 IIRC, OK was used in the old days when the old sailing ships came back from battle. A board would be put on the outside of the ship so people could see how many sailors had died on that particular voyage. So if say, for example, 8 people had been killed, or missing, 8K would be put on the board. If no-one had been killed, then 0K would be written on the board. So that would be good, as in okey, or, OK as it would look. Simples:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopGun Posted 8 December, 2009 Share Posted 8 December, 2009 There are so many attempted explanations for the origins of 'OK'. I think the ship one is a myth. I was told once that someone with the initials OK in the US Army was responsible for checking the gunpowder was dry in artillery shells before they were sent to the front line in WWI to be fired. So if it was alright it was OK. And it kinda stuck from there as so many soldiers saw OK written on the shells. No idea whether that is true.
