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 ?

Ok, we'll trade the "s" and the "space". That still leaves you with 2 unnecessary commas and a missing full-stop. ;)

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

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.

What about, "Okay"?

Acronyms don't use full stops; abbreviations do. But OK is not an acronym and it is not an abbreviation.

No, Mack Rill is implying that Delldays is firing blanks.

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.

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.
