Just out of curiosity what do you use? Really, is "ok" an abbreviation acceptable to use instead of "okay"? I don't know: the whole "ok" or "O.K." for "okay" has bugged me since I was like eight and learned about the difference. I know personally, I use "okay" but it seems to be an almost archaic spelling for the word, as I rarely if ever see the word spelled out completely, even in literature.

 "If this world seeks my destruction,
I usually spell it out... it's just that when I see "OK," I think of the sound "oak" or "okh." OK is generally a correct spelling (Firefox seems to be fine with it XD), so it's just a matter of preference.
It goes with me."

I spell it out. because I hate it when published authors use "OK" or "O.K." instead of "okay." It makes them sound very childish.

Generally, I will often write out "okay", but when saying or hearing it, just the first two letters of it come to my mind. sweatdrop Not sure how or why, but that's just how my brain works, I guess. neutral

I guess that makes sense because that is all you hear. I know because of my accent (and the accents I've grown up around) the "kay" tends to be drawn out a bit, so I can never picture it as a short "ok." Of course, "ok" bugs me so much that I only think of it as "okay." It is sort of like the fact that when I think of the word gray I picture it spelled as "gray" always instead of "grey." -shrug- "Okay" is a funny word, in the fact that it does have so many varied spellings and the abbreviation is considered normal anymore, while writing out "okay" is considered odd by the general populous.

I honestly find it weird to type anything other than "okay". One of my friends does "ok" and I think to myself, "Isn't there something wrong with that?"
I suppose as those above me have said, it's a matter of preference.

I type it as "okay".
"Okay" is more onto formality then "ok" is.
But "okay" is informal already.
I wonder, what does "O.K" stands for?

I wonder, what does "O.K" stands for? I really don't know but I've seen "okay" typed out as "O.K." and "o.k." before which confuses me because you are using just as many keys as typing out "okay"

Firefox tried to tell me "okay" wasn't a word! Ah, I thought I added it to the dictionary, but it's doing it again, and telling me it should say "Tokay" instead. I don't even know what that is. Ok is no go either, and I think the only reason it accepts OK is because of Oklahoma. But yeah. I always use okay because ok bothers me for some reason...I feel like I should be reading it "awk" somehow...maybe I'm just insane.
I'm a little sad that it accepts "foodie" as a legitimate word and not "okay." I never liked that term. sad

I always use "okay", though I have seen a lot of people use "O.K.", which does make sense. Sort of, at least.
