The roots of "OK" trace back to a peculiar linguistic fad from the 1830s. At that time, a group of intellectuals in Boston indulged in creating deliberately misspelled abbreviations, which became a form of inside humor for those “in the know.” Examples included terms like "KC" for “knuff ced,” "KY" for “know yuse,” and "OW" for “oll wright.” Among these playful abbreviations, "OK," which stood for “oll korrect,” emerged as the most popular. "OK" was used to mean “all correct,” a phrase commonly employed to confirm that everything was in order.The breakthrough moment for "OK" came on March 23, 1839, when it was first published in the Boston Morning Post. As the joke spread to other newspapers, "OK" began gaining wider recognition, far beyond Boston's intellectual circles. Its widespread use received a further boost during the 1840 U.S. presidential campaign of Martin Van Buren. The president's supporters, from his hometown of Kinderhook, New York, adopted "OK" as an abbreviation for “Old Kinderhook,” symbolizing that everything about his campaign was "all correct." The "OK Clubs" that formed to support Van Buren helped cement the term in the American lexicon. However, Van Buren's opponents turned the term against him, claiming it stood for “Orful Konspiracy” or “Orful Katastrophe,” undermining the clever nickname. Despite the campaign’s negative turn for Van Buren, the term "OK" had now become firmly embedded in American speech.The rise of the telegraph in the 1840s also played a crucial role in solidifying "OK" as a staple of communication. The telegraph, which was introduced in 1844, allowed messages to be transmitted over long distances using combinations of dots and dashes. "OK" was short, easy to transmit, and unlikely to be confused with any other abbreviation. Its utility in confirming message receipt quickly made it a standard acknowledgment for telegraph operators, especially in the rapidly expanding U.S. railroad system. By the late 19th century, the use of "OK" in telegraphic communications had become so ingrained that it was considered an essential part of message transmission.One reason "OK" became so enduring, however, lies in the appeal of the letter "K." In the English language, it is relatively uncommon to start words with the letter "K," making it visually striking when used. This "Kraze for K" became popular in advertising and print, with companies replacing hard Cs with Ks to grab attention. The use of "K" made brands and terms like "Klearflax" or "Krispy Kreme" stand out more prominently, a strategy that continues today. The visual and phonetic impact of the letter K helped ensure that "OK" remained memorable and appealing.As the decades passed, the true origins of "OK" became obscure, and various myths about its history arose, including the claim that it came from the Choctaw word "okeh," meaning “so it is.” Regardless of its true origin, by the 1890s, "OK" was no longer just a Bostonian slang term but a staple of American English. It had transcended its origins, morphing into a universally recognized symbol of agreement or acknowledgment.Today, "OK" is used in a variety of contexts as a neutral affirmative, indicating that something is acceptable or that a plan has been understood. Whether you’re confirming that you’re "OK" after a long journey, signaling approval of a meal, or acknowledging a change of plans, "OK" is the go-to response. Its versatility and lack of emotional weight make it an indispensable part of our daily language. Allan Metcalf, an expert on the history of the term, explains that "OK" affirms without evaluating; it simply acknowledges or accepts information without conveying much emotion. This quality makes it a reflexive term, one we use so frequently that we rarely think about it.Interestingly, "OK" was arguably the first word spoken by humans on the moon, a testament to its enduring role in communication. From a quirky Bostonian joke in the 1830s to its place in modern technological and interpersonal exchanges, "OK" has come a long way. It’s a word that continues to play an essential role in the way we communicate—no matter where we are or what century we find ourselves in.

IS
I still remember encountering the word "is" for the first time. I think it was first grade, but it might have been second grade. It was such an odd little word. It was like not quite a word, but more than a letter, somewhere in that fuzzy area between letter and word. I still find it odd. And it is kind of symmetrical, yet it isn't.

For a bird brain, their bird song is probably as difficult as spitting high quality game is for us.

All life life exists on the edge, between failing to procreate and succeeding, despite the incredible effort the males put in to get mates, most fail in pretty much all species.

Its impossible to, since i wss born i never did anything i truly liked, i just hate everything and everyone, they took away my freedom, my food, my health, my mental health.

birds have traits that make them more likely to reproduce like humans

but yeah animals dont have inflated standards like women do

 

[noodlelover]

Most females of most species have much higher standards than most males, so they only select the top males. Humans have amplified that with technology, where the top males are an even smaller percentage of the population.

Edit: This includes birds too, female birds are picky and only choose the top males (By Color, Size, other health indicators, and in some species bird song aka ability to spit game).

I agree with you OP, I completely detest the sheer amount of hogwash our vocabulary entails. Such needless, grandiose, utter tripe of what is merely variating frequencies emanating from ones own mouth boggles my mind to near complete fantasticism as to how needless such a mechanism can evolve to, it is a load of poppycock.

You can’t enjoy stuff because you have a negative mindset, you are always thinking about the bad things about something, instead of thinking about the good

People weirdly respect you more when you do use ‘big’ words though, at least in my case IRL.
