### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Better than just OK
  

*by M***B on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2022*

This fun little book chronicles “OK” from its beginnings as a barely-funny joke in an 1830s newspaper to its position as probably the most American word in human language.It also explores a lot of the tangents and false etymologies that followed these two letters around nearly since it first showed up in print.An entertaining bit of language history

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Interesting history of OK
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024*

It is a nice historical view of the creation and absorption of OK into our language.  In a few place the writing is a little dry and repetitive, hence the 4 stars.  But overall a worthwhile read.
