The word "O.K." is the most recognized word in the world. I think "Coca Cola" is second.

OK has become internationalized by many, but for those who have lived or have families in the US. A lot of countries understand what you mean since they have heard it, but don't use it. Kinda like US money.

Klein's claims the origins of "okay" are uncertain or apocryphal (the latter referring to "Old Kinderhook" in US history). What chance that its origin is literal: from Langue d'oc, the form of French named for its use of OC (OK) instead of OUI as "YES"?

First of all I'm Chinese, never really exposed to the Spanish language, and this Mexican coworker tells me if I can master Spanish, able to speak it fluently like a native within a month, he'd pay me $5000, do you think I can do it? Is it possible?

I'm a Chinese, my native language is Chinese.I want to find a friend whose native language is English,so that I can learn English from you.If you are learning Chinese or want to learn Chinese,I can help you!My e-mail: alanhan2008@gmail.com

Why are there no Canadian restaurants, when there are american style restaurants and mexican restaurants, and chinese and thailand and german restaurants?

OK, next round. If an Englishman , a Friese, a Dutchman, and a Schleswig-Holsteiner met in a pub, each speaking his own language, could they at least communicate well enough to be understood by the others on a basic level?

If you could go back in time and witness some historical event, which one(s) would you pick? (OK, OK, if you’re feeling wimpy, you can assume that you'll be safe and you could speak the language if necessary.)
