440.0. "Okay?" by HAM::SIMON () Tue Nov 24 1987 10:06

Well, I finally made it to Europe on business and I have a major problem.
    In an effort to learn German, I have completely forgotten any language
    I ever knew.  The people here asked me about the origin of a term
    and I have heard it a million times but cannot remember.  Maybe
    someone can help.  What is the origin of the term "Okay (O.K.)"?
    I thought it might have originated here but alas, I have forgotten.
    Any help would be welcome.

    There was a discussion on this starting on 411.102. It's a bit mixed
    up with other things though.

    I knew it was there somewhere and I just couldn't find it.
    Thank you.  I'll go look at 411...
