My two cents would just be to google and wikki it Okay, OK, Oh Kay or O.K. is a colloquial English word denoting approval, assent, or acknowledgment that has been a loanword from English for many other languages. As an adjective it means 'adequate', 'acceptable' ("this is okay to send out"), often in contrast to 'good' ("the food was okay"); it also functions as an adverb in this sense. As an interjection, it can denote compliance ("Okay, I will do that"), agreement ("Okay, that's good"), a wish to defuse a situation or calm someone ("It's okay, it's not that bad"). As a grammatical particle it does not modify any other particular word, but rather reinforces the general point being made, particularly if that point is being called into question. And so, for example, a response to “So the accident kept him from going to the reunion?” might be “Oh, he went to it okay, but he had bruised ribs and his car was a wreck.” In this case “okay” does not modify him or his going anywhere; it is a particle emphasizing the point that is being questioned. As a noun and verb it means 'assent'; ("The boss okayed the purchase").

"Only Kay, Kate, Katherine and Kelly accepted my proposal, the others that refused to do so were sent immediately to the year 2,069 to take a refresher course." Sorry for the delayed reply, but I was on strike for a while over a dispute about "whether washing and drying of the dishes is to be done by a female or a machine designed for washing, and drying the dishes and utensils.

You must be single to say that. Wait here and I'll just go ask the Mrs what the right answer should be. Never try to steal home, be content to make out on first base.
