 Okay - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first recorded use of "OK" in this sense was in the Boston Morning Post on March 23, 1839, in the sentence "He...would have the 'contribution box', et ceteras, o.k.--all correct--and cause the corks to fly, like sparks, upward."
Read discounts evidence of earlier popular origins of the word; for instance, a Boston businessman used it in a daily journal in 1815, but in context it does not seem to be used in the sense of "okay, good".
It is said that Andrew Jackson, one of the founders of the Democratic Party, and the seventh President of the United States, when asked about his usage of the two letter acronym on bills, responded that OK stood for "oll korrect," a phonetic misspelling of "all correct."

 Encyclopedia - Where did OKAY come from?
Personally, I subscribe to the "coincidental coinage" theory - that is, "OK" was in isolated and independent verbal use in a number of places in the very early part of the 19th century prior to its first written appearance (in the Boston Morning Post, on March 23rd, 1839).
It would have faded into obscurity if it were not for some of the other appearances in the years that followed.
It went further, with KY used to mean "no use" (know yuse) and an article in the March 23rd, 1839, edition of the Boston Morning Post, saw this produce OK, short for "all correct" (orl korrect).

 Mormon News for WE 06Aug00: South China Morning Post Skeptical   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
HONG KONG, CHINA -- An article in today's South China Morning Post recognizes the efforts of LDS missionaries in Hong Kong and the growth of the LDS Church there, but takes a very skeptical view of the Church.
The article looks at LDS doctrine and practice in missionary work and genealogy and looks at the reaction of critics to the Church, who claim that Mormons aren't Christian and that missionary efforts are overly zealous.
When the South China Morning Post visits with them, they are street contacting in Exchange Square in Central, where some non-Chinese criticize them, calling Mormonism an "aberrant" form of Christianity that undermines the rest of Christianity, "You undermine the fundamentals on which Christianity stands or falls," says Jason Porteous, a 32-year-old artist, Scot and Christian.

HONG KONG --A Hong Kong man was arrested for throwing parts of his bed out of the window of his 15th floor apartment, police and local media said Friday.
No one was injured by the falling planks of wood that the 42-year-old man lobbed out of his window Thursday morning, said a police spokeswoman who declined to be named.
Police had to break into the man's apartment because he was emotional at the time of the arrest, she said, adding that he was admitted to a hospital for medical tests.

To devolve is for an action or duty to fall to, or descend to, a subordinate or similar: "emptying the trash devolved upon the husband." Devolved is not de-evolved, and it's against the rules to subject others to your own secret meanings.

No doubt China's leaders believed that even with the US pointing a gun at the head of its textiles industry, it was still better to be in the WTO and free of the MFA than it was to be out in the cold.
According to a World Bank paper cited by a recent Credit Suisse First Boston research report, as a WTO member China's share of global apparel exports will reach 47.1 per cent by 2005, against 18.5 per cent had it remained outside the WTO.
But that is still no excuse for the brazenness of America's negotiators, or the cowardice of China's.

 NPR : 'OK', Present at the Creation
Most linguists agree that Allen Walker Read conducted the most definitive research on OK. In a series of essays in the journal American Speech, the former Columbia University linguistics professor details the history of the word from its apparent birth in Boston in 1839, to its "boost" from the Van Buren re-election campaign in 1840.
Another legend suggests the word comes from Old Keokuk, a Native American tribal chief who was said to have signed treaties with his initials.
What is known is that one of the first instances of OK appearing in print was in the spring of 1839 by the Boston Morning Post:

 LINGUIST List 4.694: Etymology of OK
The first printed use of "o.k." found by Read is in the Boston Morning Post of March 23, 1839, in which it is used in a humorous context and explicitly glossed as "all correct".
In the 1964 article "The Folklore of "O.K."", Read traces the development of the dozens of folk etymologies of O.K. that began to spring up in the 1800's (and continue to spring up today), and concludes that they are all wishful thinking without any evidence to support them.
The members called themselves the Democratic O.K. Club, taking the initials from Old Kinderhook, a title bestowed upon Van Buren from the name of the village, Kinderhook, in the valley of the Hudson where he was born.' However, there is a complication.
