Annie Are You Oll Korrect?

I found this article about the history of the word, "OK" fascinating.

You see, long before our most common abbreviation like OMG and LOL existed, their 19th century predescesors were just a bit more interesting.

Apparnetly in the 1800's it was fashionable to alter the spellings of common phrases and their subsequent abbreviations.  So "no go," for example, would be changed to the homophonic "know go" and abbreviated k.g.

And this is how "OK" was created.

According to research by Allen Walker Read (who also studied the F word) and published in a book by Allan Metcalf, "OK," while having cognates in many different languages, (from Louisiana French "au quai" and the German "Ober-Kommando" to the Chocktaw "Okeh") actually originates from an abbreviation for an altered spelling of "all correct" (oll korrect) that was first published as a "joke" in an 1839 Boston Post article.

PKH? (Pretty Kool, huh?)
