Q. Dearest Oracle,

What does "OK" mean?

 

The Oracle replies:

 

If I describe something as "ok" it means it's not bad or adequate. If someone asks me if I would want to do something and I reply "ok" it means yes. Sometimes I use it as a pause before I launch into an answer.

 

...

:laugh1:

um.... ok.......... (pun intended I guess)

Wow. Thats all I can say.

Either that Jeff dude is st00pid, or he was asking about the origin of "OK" but obviously wasn't clear enough for The Oracle's HIGH IQ level.

OR The Oracle was just being sarcastic in the least funny ways.

 

Whatever it is, that question was so unnecessary it doesn't need its own thread!

Or maybe it does, just to mock The Oracle & that Jeff dude.

actually, its not ok. definitely not ok to ask that. that was "bad" and "inadequate". lol jeff...

Maybe English is his second language?

Yeah, it needed its own thread because of how ridiculous it was.

 

I'm sure that the guy who sent in the question just did it to see if The Oracle would answer. I wonder if she realized this? She probably thought that it would be funny to answer....

ok:)

:uhoh:

I always spell it "Okay". :P

I always spell it "Okay". :P

 

Same. It seems much better that way.

:lol:

I don't think a non-English speaking person would be named "Jeff," lol.

whaw this is great :surprised:

I don't spell it ok. I spell it okay. Mainly because it looks better and more proffesional. :)

I normally spell it "okay" too.

I don't spell it ok. I spell it okay. Mainly because it looks better and more proffesional. :)

 

*professional

^^:lol:

The story continues! People still don't get what okay means. I didn't know Coldplay fans (and oracles) were so stupid.

Q. Dearest Oracle,

Jeff asked you, what 'OK' meant and you explained the meaning, which was interesting. But maybe he wanted to know what the two letters O and K meant und what relation they had to the actual meaning...

THX!

The Oracle replies:

 

Ah ok (ha ha)... well basically it's just a shortened form of the full word which is okay given that phonetically it is O and K.

 

:rolleyes:

Hahahahaha :lol:

Why do I have a feeling this will cause a crazy chain of questions that will finally cause The Oracle to go insane? :confused:

The Oracle is officially an idiot.

HAHAhahaha sweet. yes lets make the oracle go crazy

I actually feel a bit bad for Debs having to tread through all that mail and choosing what to answer, then getting confused by all of it.

 

I suggest that in addition to an Oracle, Coldplay.com requires a Sage.
