Hi all,
We can't blame K.O. N0KFQ for getting things wrong, they're the fault of
whomever posted the article on the internet site he gets them from.
On with the correction, OK never was a contraction for "oll correct" dispite
slang creeping into the English language. Mum used to say "Ain't ain't in the
dictionary." and it wasn't at the time. Take a look in a new dictionary. OK
is short for okeh, a word in a West African language with an obvious meaning.
For those who remember The Little Rascals before Bill Cosby bought the rights
and buried them as "racist" Buckwheat could be plainly heard saying okeh, not
OK that sounds somewhat different.
"New Jersey, the most American of all states. It has everything from
wilderness to the Mafia. All the great things and all the worst,
like Route 22."
