Bone Question of the Day
As a regular visitor I'm curious as to why so many posters put 'ok' at the end of their contributions. Am I missing something?

I've not heard the "Zero Killed" explanation before. The OED gives its origin as "Orl Korrect" with a first usage in 1839.
Martin van Buren was nicknamed "Old Kinderhook" in the 1840 US presidential election campaign and his supporters formed the O K Club.
