I recently found out a friend of mine absolutely NEVER uses "OK" when writing. He always spells it out. He was so very opinionated about this I started to wonder if other people have strong opinions as well. I have strong opinions about word usage, but for whatever reason the OK/okay issue does not inspire me to passion.

So. Tell me!

I especially want to hear if you have a really strong preference, like if using "OK" makes you break out in a rash or something.

I guess I use "OK" when I write. But I wouldn't be surprised to find I use them both. When I was a wee word-loving lass I always used "okay" because I thought it was more elegant than two big capital letters. It's also a word instead of an acronym of unknown origin which I think gave me some comfort.

I think it was when I read about Oskar Kokoschka signing his paintings "OK", and found it so funny, that I started preferring that spelling. Or maybe I'm just lazier now.

The Boy is home sick from school so I'm home too, getting nothing done.

I've been meaning to ask...
