During historic civi wars, when troops returned without any casualities, a writing was put up so all can see which read "0 killed" means no one died. From here we get the expression OK which means all good.

The word "OK" likely originated in the 19th century in America as an abbreviation of "oll korrect," a humorous misspelling of "all correct." It gained popularity and widespread use during the presidential campaign of Martin Van Buren in 1840. Since then, it has become a commonly used term worldwide to signify agreement, approval, or simply to confirm understanding.
