Off on a tangent
So tonight I was talking with a buddy, and a thought came to me. Every time I write Ok it has a red line under it. How deep do you think? I wonder if I'm normal sometimes.as my brain wonders off.
I thought to myself, why is this going on ? (ok) should be a acceptable abbreviation for some thing right. Or even a accepted word, I use it all the time.
I see it as, being a word. This is where my tangent came into play. I told my friend, I wonder why this is not acceptable when I write it down. When I write my blogs or post, I always have to create a space between the letters o and k, for the red line to go away.
So I thought, I am going to dig a little on this and find a answer. My spelling check is not working right now, so please forgive the spelling's in this blog.
Anyway. I looked this up tonight. It was very interesting, and I thought, I might share the link with you who might want to know about this Ok business. It's just a fun reaching out subject ,that might catch the interest of a few like minded people, like myself that wonder why at times. and what the history is about a subject. I guess to me, it is a great thing to wonder and learn about this world we live in and the way things came to be.
I'm sure this is not the only information on the subject. but I'm sharing the link below. If you have more information on the subject, I would love to here what you come up with. Sometimes in life it is a great thing, to chase down the answers to questions in our minds. Working together on a happy new year. The link to O K knowledge Below. Ok that's all for now, have a great night, day or where ever you are in time. Think tank 101, J B

But what I really want to know is why spell checker always wants to correct real words? I have the same problem, but if I'm not mistaken it only happens on Android, not on Windows. I think it's also only with certain apps. I tried typing it here and it didn't correct it.
Its funny how one question leads to another. Your right its a good question. Have a great new year J B
Interesting article. However if you will write OK in capitals you won't get that red line. Now I after reading the article, I understand why. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, I had not tried to write it with capital letters that I have noticed before. I ran over to my post and tried it and your very right it works. The article about the history of OK I found very interesting. I wonder why the capitalization works. Any way, thanks for your comments. Happy new year to you. J B

Amazing where things come from. This one is about as obscure as why people in Indiana are called Hoosiers. Many different ideas about that one too, with no definite answer.
Yes it is a fun little venture for sure. I'm going to go now, in search of the answer to your topic. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. You have a great new year. J B
