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?
|
Maybe, ok?
|
Didn't see that one coming....
|
I suspect Maxibon is viewing the forum on a device that, for some reason, doesn't parse bbcode and display smilies. :ok: :ok: :ok:
|
Shoot, I thought this was going to be about a bomber.
|
I don't recall seeing 'OK' at the end of contributions, or am I missing something?
|
Don't recall myself - but it could be a way of expressing that feminised rising-inflection at the end of every sentence.
|
My phone should show bbcode but if it is a smiley, what does it represent?
|
I prefer an 'ok' at the end to a 'So' at the start.
|
I.. like, so asked for that!
|
Thanks for the clarification. I clearly own outdated gadgets and am a tech desert. I'll go back to my desk and the 1970s.

So SOSL will so be after you!:= Jack PS OK? |
I like (or prefer) the origins where it counted the number of dead after a battle: Ok (nil killed).

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. |

On my laptop the autocorrect mucks about with the smilies and you can have :ok: or :ok : or even :roll eyes: or :rolleyes: depending. Ok ?
|
So that explains it all and comes across ok

It's easy to spell - a isue with miny on this sight.
