OK is one of the most successful 'Americanisms' meaning 'all right, or well enough'. It was first used in Boston in 1839 in the Boston Globe Newspaper who were asking for the translations of well known companies, so well known that only the initials were used to identify them. An entry was sent in, by a Dutch resident of New York, asking if anyone knew the meaning of OK. The answer was Orl Korrect. This was an incorrect spelling, it should have been Allus Korrectus or AK. Later in 1840, a potential Presidential candidate, Martin Van Burren, who came from Old Kinderhook, a suburb of New York, coined the slogan 'you will be OK with OK' . Taking the incorrect spelling from the Boston Globe Newspaper of OK, and the initials of his location in New York, Old Kinderhook. Thus the slogan 'you will be OK with OK
