Is It "Ok" or "Okay?"

[Beauregard]

I'll tell you what hurts my lips: that song that goes "ohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohwe..."

In the jungle...the quiet jungle...the lion sleeps tonight...

Smowthy, you do a mean harmony.

Wrong song.

According to my 2006 copy of the AP Stylebook, it's OK, with both letters in caps.

A.p.?

 

[Muppet Newsgirl]

AP, Associated Press. Their stylebook is the grammar/spelling guide used by most newspapers and wire services in the U.S. However, the really major newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post have their own stylebooks.

This is all about what you use when writing it of course.
The first funny thought that came to me when I started reading this thread was that whether you say OK or okay they both sound the same anyway.

Um... Exactly witch song is this now?

Remember that episode of Arthur where all the kids went crazy over that band from Finland who shared the same name with Binky? (Binky Rules and all that jazz)? Well, that song they kept trying to find out what the name was was just "ohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohweohew" over and over again. Remember?

Oh yeah! thanks for reminding me! Because I had no Idea what that was. But it's all so clear now that you mention it.

Glad I could help.
