Language evolves and that is fact-but then again, I have always been a sloppy descriptivist who can't even spell common words correctly. <BR/><BR/>I was pretty sure OK (and yes, I learned it came from all correct) came from a campaign slogan... Kentucky I believe. I must admit, however, that I have no recollection of who or what my source was.Charlohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00393412975208750876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457714431664720250.post-54744566094552231412008-07-18T02:13:00.000-07:002008-07-18T02:13:00.000-07:00AAARGH!

I don't come from any swamp for that matter.
