OK: The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word
Metcalf, Allan (Professor of English, Professor of English, MacMurray College)
Metcalf traces the history of "OK" from its unusual birth as a jokey mis-transcribing of "all correct" in the 19th century, its rapid growth in various facets of American life, and its success overseas as the English word that all non-Americans know.
