Check it out https://www.history.com/author/history

Why is there always one here? This item isn't something that challenges something that is life or death.

"oll korrect" is a Dutch phrase meaning "all right" and Marten Van Buren was of Dutch ethnicity. So his nickname of "Old Kinderhook" shortened to OK fit right in during the presidential campaign of 1840.

Linguists say that "OK" is the single most widely used and recognized phrase in the entire world.

And, FU does NOT stand for what you dirty minded people think. It's for "follow up". I used it on a term paper many many years ago and got an "F" because the professor didn't believe me.
