Shantell Powell<p>I had an editor correct all my occurrences of “ok” with “okay” saying the former is specifically texting lingo. I guess he doesn’t know the 19th-century origin of “ok” being a silly abbreviation of “oll korrect” which was then transliterated to “okay.” The abbreviation definitely predates cell phones. But whatever. “Okay” is ok, too. <br><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK#:~:text=The%20origin%20of%20OK%20is,misspelling%20of%20%22all%20correct%22" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/OK#:~:</span><span class="invisible">text=The%20origin%20of%20OK%20is,misspelling%20of%20%22all%20correct%22</span></a>. <a href="https://c.im/tags/ok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ok</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Okay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Okay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Morphology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Morphology</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>linguistics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/WritingCommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>WritingCommunity</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Words" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Words</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/editing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>editing</span></a></p>
