The Term OK
The first recorded printed use of "OK" [oll korrect] occurred in Boston's Morning Post March 23, 1839.

Was John Glenn the first to popularize "A-OK"?

My wife rattles off in Chinese with an OK thrown in everywhere. So it must be a Chinese invention.

Mexicans here say OK all the time. It's a worldy exclamation now, I do believe.

In Utah they say "you bet!"... although they don't gamble (unless by themselves).

Or "deal" instead of OK works as well. But I think we live in OKish world, even in Vietnam they say OK nowadays so...

This is so interesting. I have rarely heard a Brazilian say OK, although it exists in our lexicon.
I would love to hear Chinese with OK thrown in!

Contrary to popular opinion, Utah is becoming quite diverse----(to the dismay of many Utah'ans).

Salt Lake City and Park City areas are diverse.... the rest of the State is still a bastion. And that's why you always take two Utahns fishing with
you... if you take one, he'll drink all yer beer.

What about those Utah communities with the big walls around them?  The sales
reps I traveled with called them polygamist towns and they are left alone by government.

Actually, the 'walled city' you're referring to is Colorado City in Arizona, oh wise scholar of religious history. There are no fully 'polyg' towns
in Utah, although not too many years back in the central San Pitch valley of Eprhaim, maroooni and Manti there was a mass movement by over 1,000 of
the Faithful to openly practice polygamy. Went over like a lead balloon with the Powers That Be in the State.

It wasn't just one walled community we drove by (in Utah), but several. They are hush-hush, and I was told about them from a Morman (who has just one
wife). This was 20 years ago, however.

I believe the OK hand sign means something very different in Mexico, try it some time without saying OK, you may get a strange reaction......
