I was wondering about this ‘O.K.’. first, I’m wondering if it is an abbrievated word or an acronym?
Then I found this reading:-
Okay is a term of approval or assent, often written as OK, O.K., ok, okay, or more informally as simply kay, k or kk.
When used to describe the quality of a thing, it denotes acceptability. However, its usage can also be strongly approving; as with most slang, its usage is determined by context.
The word "okay" is currently posited as the single most used word on Earth, owing to its common employment in a vast number of cultures and languages.
There are several theories about the origins of this word, some of them apocryphal and none of them conclusive. Whatever its origin, the word spread around the world, the "okay" spelling of it first appearing in British writing in the 1860s. Spelled out in full in the 20th century, ‘okay’ has come to be in everyday use among English speakers, and borrowed by non-English speakers. Occasionally a humorous form okey dokey is used, as well as A-ok.

Greek Language
In Greece teachers would mark especially good school papers with "OK" for Ola Kala (Ολα Καλά, ΟΚ), meaning that everything is good; as a variant on that story, the Greek phrase would be used by sailors as a quick way of responding to the captain’s inquiry about the condition of the ship. O.K. was marked on shipping crates after inspection, as the crates travelled and disembarked around the world people saw the abbreviation as meaning everything in them was all right ‘Ola Kala’.
Choctaw Language
In the native American Choctaw language, there is a word "okeh" with the same meaning and pronunciation as American usage; Woodrow Wilson, among others, used this spelling to emphasize the Native American origins of the word. The Choctaw language was well known as a lingua franca of the frontiersmen of the early 19th Century, including eventual American Presidents Andrew Jackson and William Henry Harrison.
"Oll Korrekt"
Allen Walker Read wrote six articles in the journal American Speech in 1963 and 1964 on the origins of the word. He dismissed the Choctaw origins as mythic folklore, emphasizing the possibility that "OK" arose as a cute abbreviation.
He believed the word to be short for any of several different spellings of "all correct", including "Oll Korrect", "Orl Korrect", and "Ole Kurreck". There was a fad in the 1830s and 1840s involving the intentional misspelling of common phrases, and referring to them by the resulting initials. These may have been influenced by the Low German phrase "Oll klor", which would have been spoken by emigrants from Northern Germany. The fad included many other briefly popular abbreviations such as OW, "oll wright" (all right) and KY, "know yuse" (no use), none of which has survived. The first recorded use of "OK" in this sense was in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839, in the sentence "He…would have the ‘contribution box’, et ceteras, o.k.–all correct–and cause the corks to fly, like sparks, upward."
Read discounts evidence of earlier popular origins of the word; for instance, a Boston businessman used it in a daily journal in 1815, but in context it does not seem to be used in the sense of "okay, good".

African Origins
Another plausible etymology for "okay" is the suggestion that the expression may have entered North America along with African slaves many of whom arrived speaking one or more of several west African languages in which [oke] ("okay" or something close to it) was already part of the vocabulary, with a semantic scope quite close to that of "okay" in contemporary English. "Waw-kay" is an exclamation in both Bantu and Wolof dialects, "kay" being a word meaning "yes," and "waw" an emphatic; "waw-kay" is an emphatic "yes." It is observed that of all the things a newly arrived slave might be expected to utter in the presence of their English-speaking master, the single most frequent would surely be an emphatic yes. Lending credence to the African theory is the fact that a Bantu or Wolof origin is ascribed, with little or no controversy, to such common English words as "jive" ("jev") and "banana," among others. Although "okay" may have found its way into English from an African source, the similarity of the Choctaw form could have helped to solidify its use among at least some English speakers. As in the Choctaw origin theory, in this view the word "okay" was already in significant spoken use, though rarely written, when it began to acquire the several competing backronyms ("Old Kinderhook," "Oll Korrect," etc.) that have survived in print.
Occitan language
The hallmark of the Occitan language is oc, the medieval Occitan word for yes, as opposed to oïl, the ancestor of the modern French oui, from the langue d’oïl of Northern France.
Vulgar Latin developed different methods of signifying assent: "hoc ille" and "hoc", which became the langue d’oil and langue d’oc (or Occitan language), respectively. The subsequent development of "oïl" into "oui" can be seen in modern French, and "hoc ille" may have evolved into OK.
Legendary origins
Initials
Since the term bears resemblance to a person’s initials, many proposals have been made as to who "O.K." was, and why their name would become synonymous with acceptability.
One story says it comes from a railroad freight agent, Obadiah Kelly, who initialed bills of lading, or an Indian chief Old Keokuk who wrote his initials on treaties. Another story is that it comes from boxes of Orrins-Kendall crackers which were popular with Union troops during the US Civil War. Some say the term comes from a German businessman Otto Kaiser who put his initials on goods he had inspected. A related version ascribes it to a worker named Otto Kruger or Oskar Krause at a Ford plant in Michigan, who would inspect each car coming off the assembly line and chalk his initials on the front windshield if it was "OK".
Andrew Jackson
An alleged meaning found in the popular game, Trivial Pursuit, says Andrew Jackson, one of the founders of the Democratic Party, and the seventh President of the United States, when asked about his usage of the two-letter acronym on bills, responded that OK stood for "oll korrect," a phonetic misspelling of "all correct." The likelihood of this story is supported by the fact that Andrew Jackson was a great Army General, but not much of a scholar.
French Fisherman Origins
Another possible origin for the term "OK" comes from French fishermen, sometimes said to be based in New Orleans. When the fishermen came back from their trips and were approaching the harbour, when asked by the harbourmaster where to tie up their boats, the captain would shout "au quai", meaning "to the quay". Later, when asked how their trip went, in the local taverns etc., they would simply reply "au quai", which would indicate that their ship had been tied up to the quay to unload a lot of fish. The phrase "au quai" became synonymous with success and integrated local slang.
Fourteenth Century Oak Wood?
The term OK has also been used in an English will and testament from 1565. It is possible that this usage originates from "oak" – the tree from which ships were constructed in the British Navy. The actor David Garrick (1717-1779) wrote the Royal Navy’s song "Heart of Oak", a patriotic song celebrating naval victories of the Seven Years War (1756-1763). In Britain oak wood is a symbol of solid dependable construction. Thus it is possible to see how establishing the reliability of the vessel might involve asking if it was "oak-a?" In 2000 the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Michael Boyce said, in the Royal Navy’s "Navy News": "It is no exaggeration to say that the reputation of the Royal Navy is founded on British oak."
Typesetters, Harvests, the Finns, the Scots or the French?
The term OK was also used by typesetters and people working in the publishing business. A manuscript that didn’t need any changes or corrections would be marked "O.K." for Ohne Korrektur (German for "No changes"). Another story is that it comes from the British English word hoacky (the last load of the harvest). Or the Finnish word Oikein (that’s right). Or the Scottish expression och aye. Or the French aux Cayes or au quai.
0 Killed
Another version is that the term was used by U.S. military during the U.S. civil war to state that there were zero casualties or zero killed ("0K"), hence 0.K., at a particular battle site.
O.K. Club
In the presidential election of 1840, the term "OK" was further popularized by use as a slogan by the O.K. Club, New York boosters of Democratic president Martin Van Buren’s 1840 re-election bid; it was an allusion to his nickname Old Kinderhook, from his birthplace Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren lost, but the word stuck.
Spelling style
Whether this word is printed as OK, okay, or O.K. is a matter normally resolved in the style manual for the publication involved. Common style guides: Chicago, New York Times, etc., provide no consensus nor do dictionaries. The Associated Press Stylebook recommends the spellings "OK, Ok’d OK’ing, OKs" and states "do not use [the spelling] okay."
More recently, text messagers (email, chat rooms, instant messaging, mobile phone messaging (Short message service), etc.) use "kk" or even "k", as a quickly-typed, informal variation of the spelling, though some claim this variation has been in use since at least the BBS days of the early 1990s.
From the Oxford English Dictionary:
Okay (also OK) / adj, adv (informal) all right; satisfactory or satisfactorily
Eg. I hope the children are okay. (I hope the children are all right.)
I think I did OK in the exam. (I think I did well, but not too well, on the exam.)
He is OK. ( He is good. )
ok . ok . ok . ok . ok . ok .
ok . ok . ok . ok . ok . ok .
ok . ok . ok . ok . ok . ok .
I guess the most interesting about O.K. is
(1) "Oll Korrekt"
or
(2)Ola Kala
as by Greece teachers would mark especially good school papers with "OK" for Ola Kala (Ολα Καλά, ΟΚ), meaning that everything is good

” And of course, it only wrote that it is a FEATURE DESTINATION…i thot it would only be a few pages cos that’s usually what ‘FEATURE’ means in our magazines in Singapore. So I picked up my camera and started capturing the intial few pages as I wanted to show Zsolt sharing with him my experience about this strange occurance today. Then as i flipped the pages, i realised there is more and more about the place……..
The only oil or lotion that i use was suntan lotion:D and it was the fragrance of the natural FRUITS that drew me to buy these BODY BUTTERS. Also with a good cause:-
