OK Although we use this word hundreds of times a week whether things are OK or not, we have probably
rarely wondered about its history. That history is in fact a brief one, the word being first recorded in
1839, though it was no doubt in circulation before then. Much scholarship has been expended on the
origins of OK, but Allen Walker Read has conclusively proved that OK is based on a sort of joke.
Someone pronounced the phrase “all correct” as “oll (or orl) correct,” and the same person or someone
else spelled it “oll korrect,” which abbreviated gives us OK. This term gained wide currency by being
used as a political slogan by the 1840 Democratic candidate Martin Van Buren, who was nicknamed
Old Kinderhook because he was born in Kinderhook, New York. An editorial of the same year, refer-
ring to the receipt of a pin with the slogan O.K., had this comment: “frightful letters . . . significant of
the birth-place of Martin Van Buren, old Kinderhook, as also the rallying word of the Democracy of the
late election, ‘all correct’ .... Those who wear them should bear in mind that it will require their most
strenuous exertions ... to make all things O.K.” [From the American Heritage Electronic Dictionary
(AHED), copyright 1992 by Houghton Mifflin Company]

PERL According to some, it’s “Practical Extraction and Report Language.” But the relevant Perl FAQ entry,
in perlfaq1.pod, says “never write ‘PERL’, because perl isn't really an acronym, apocryphal folklore
and post-facto expansions notwithstanding.” (Thanks to Anno Siegel for enlightening me on this.)
