Thanks for the Wikipedia picture, where the "OK" article describes its origin as:
"OK's origins are disputed; however, most modern reference works hold that it originated around Boston as part of a fad for misspelling in the late 1830s, and originally stood for "oll korrect [all correct]". This origin was first described by linguist Allen Walker Read in the 1960s. "

My mum said that an American wrote his name, OK, when he was asked to write something (in school, maybe?). Later I got the etymology from the dictionary, which was oll korrect, or all correct.
I like to say oxygen potassium, which has the elemental symbols of OK!

All Korrect. It was used in a satire about grammar.

  Seems like oll korrekt (all correct). Are those two φrases related?
