	OK -- okay

Strictly speaking, I believe that "OK" is the more correct form, since the
term originated as an abbreviation -- see
      http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_250.html
It seems to me that "okay" is simply a spelling-out of the sounds.

Nevertheless I have to agree that "okay" _looks_ better. :)  It's what I
generally write myself.  And my dictionary supports both spellings.

Cheers,
Angus
