Well, I didn't check but, acoording to her it was something amasing that Theodore Roosevelt has done or said. Afterwards all soft toys bears were called Teddy bear.Maybe, it's better if I research this and give a more detailed and completed explanation. <br />Sorry!!Andréahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03253517403974380336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017262458898073461.post-52262026320088818042009-06-06T12:06:46.074-03:002009-06-06T12:06:46.074-03:00Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is usually a good so...Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) is usually a good source for general information on things. Interestingly enought, just one of these days I learned of this meaning Helio mentioned. So, reading this post now made me head to Wikipedia and there's a bunch of possible origins for "okay".

There ar...Hi everybody!! It´s a very nice blog!!!<br /><br />There are many theories for the origin of the term. The most accepted is the American professor Allen Walker Read of Columbia University, explained in an article published in the journal 'American Speech' in 1963 and 1964. OK is the abbreviation of 'orl correct”, a well-humored and distorted the 'all correct' (fine) used for the first time the newspapers of Boston in the summer of 1838 - at the time, using abbreviations common in the media was satirical . The term was popularized in 1840 in the campaign of Democratic president Martin Van Buren (1782-1862). As his nickname was' Old Kinderhook '(or' Old Kinderhook ', referring to his hometown), the OK symbol received double sense.<br />I read that in the Galileu Magazine.<br /><br />Bye for now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04814195357428337812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6017262458898073461.post-16816881448711930462009-06-05T11:08:07.415-03:002009-06-05T11:08:07.415-03:00@Helio
