Where did the word “ok” come from?

“Ok” is the most frequently used word in the world. But where did it come from?

In 1939, in the Boston newspaper, the intellectual jokers wrote a joke that the word “ok” should be used as an abbreviation of the phrase “oll korrect”, which in turn means illiterately written, “all correct” (“ o-l-l k-o-r-r-e-c-t,” ). “All correct” in those days was in use even more popular than “all right”.

By the way, technically “ok” was the first word spoken on the moon.
