komouri_yokai The poll is in Spanish. The question is "Do you like money?" The answer is "Yes, no, yes, for supposed." Which makes not a lot of sense, but whatever. Ano...the words I spell incorrectly are a lot, all right, and execute.
"for supposed" is incorrect. If you translate it to mean something like it does in Spanish, you actually read it "Of course". Like so: "Do you like money? Yes, no, yes, of course."
And for O.K. I heard that it was used as a military terminology, at the end of a successful battle if no one was killed they would write Zero Killed or O.K.
