- If true, then noteworthy. But, accepted origin is English 1830s, near Boston. The word is without question used in many languages today. Stevebroshar (talk) 15:58, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
Italian has OK too!
[edit]Italy also uses Ok in the same exact way as English, but adjective usage is rare. 37.161.198.13 (talk) 10:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
