Is it okay, if I write about Okay?

Is it okay, if I write about Okay?

  • Mr.Vignesh asked me “Can you meet Mr.Avinash?” I said ‘Okay, surely I will meet him’ (used as alright)
  • We went to a new hotel that opened in Jayanagar. After lunch, my colleague Ankush said “ The hotel is good, but the food was ‘okay’ “ (Ok is used for mediocre/ just satisfactory)
  • My colleague asked me whether the draft reply to Income Tax Notice is alright, I said “It’s okay, please send it”  (OK is used for acceptance)
  • My daughter came and told me that she has completed her homework. I said “Okay, its good” (used as approved)

I understand that this word is in usage since 1790. Okay is also abbreviated to O.K, Ok, OK.

It is also used in modern gadgets such as ‘TV Remote Control’, indicating that if you press that button, the programme continues 

Is it ok if I end this note by saying everything will be okay in the end. If it’s not okay, it’s not the end
