Class started and you're late again, calling you.

Here Professor Galletilla, who entertains and gives life, I'm sure you've all heard the expression 'O.K.' at some point, but..., where does it come from?, why do we use it?, well then today we'll clear up doubts, YuuuJuuu!!!

The German engineer John Augustus Roebling designed in 1867 the High Bridge of East River, between Manhattan and Brooklyn, in New York. He knew little English and after studying his engineers' data signed the approved writing with two initials A.K which meant Alles Klar, (in German means all correct);. As Roebling heard that American engineers pronounced all as oll, he was misled by this and wrote first an O and then a K, mixing thus both languages.

Similarly, some people think that OK are the initials of the Greek expression Όλα Καλά (Ola Kalá), which means 'all is well'.

And the explanation I like best is this: Some say it can come from the War of Secession, since when there were no casualties on the battlefield, they would note 0 killed (no dead) on a blackboard, which in its abbreviated form corresponds to 0K (the English zero can be said 'zero' or 'O';).

And now I leave you to accompany you, dedicated to all and everyone, this nice theme that is sure to please you, especially for the designer of that Silver Surfer and Galactus banner, since without their help my posts wouldn't be the same

!!! Thanks Zeed!!!

I'm giving this class because what's promised is debt and I usually pay up, haha, even though you all know that promising, promising until you're in too deep... once you're in it, that's it with the promises, ...but don't miss the next class of the most chatty professor from the neighborhood-porninga, thanks to totus for hanging out on my post![/swf]
