Hello Everyone,
I haven't posted for a while... the last time when I used the term
'gang up' (as in 'ganging up pages' in pagination).
Since it is still holiday season, I wonder if anyone can help me with
the origin of 'ok' aka 'okay' (the latter I think being a phonetic
approach).
Among the explanations I have heard is that it's some corruption of the
German 'alles korrekt' (?). The others seem even more unlikely. Just
out of curiosity, does anyone know?
