Etymology
OK became popular in the 1800s from the playful spelling oll korrect for 'all correct', and one popular story links it to the nickname Old Kinderhook used in a US election, which helped people use OK as a short sign of approval. That's why we often start a sentence with OK to mean 'fine' or 'I agree'.
