History

The history of OK Day is not well known. The two-letter acronym itself stands for “all is well” or “all is right.” It is always associated with a good mood and also signifies a person’s agreement to a proposal.

Researchers believe that the acronym “OK” is over 180 years old. Most Americans attribute its creation to E. Jackson, the 7th president of the United States. He often wrote “all correct” as he heard it, using the letters O and K. Since then, this letter combination took root in American society and eventually became popular all over the world.

“OK” is also indicated by a gesture, where the index finger and thumb form a ring. Therefore, if you need to respond with OK, you can simply show the gesture with your fingers silently.

Interesting Facts

  • There is a theory that the phrase “OK” came from the German language. The original expression had a similar meaning but was written as “Ohne Korrectur.”
  • The gesture involving joining the index finger and thumb in a ring exists in Buddhism and Hinduism. In these religions, it is a symbol of inner perfection and is also associated with a positive attitude.

How to Celebrate

Use “OK” in your speech more often and use the gesture. This can be done both in live speech and in correspondence on social networks. Be positive today and energize others!

Spread the word on social media. Ask users how often they use the combination “OK” in speech.
