The Register - Feel My Pain http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/24982.html It is kinda wierd to hear Bill Gates say "...OK, but please don't punish us and break up our monopoly!" 5:08:04 PM    comment

Oll Korrect Google is so cool. I was around avaiation for most of the day. As is common in certain industries [or perhaps all of them] particular language and vocabulary is used. Think of terms like "Roger" and "Wilco". I pondered about "OK", thinking it had to be related to a military procedure or nautical confirmation. Google to the rescue! "It seems to have come from the misspelling of "all correct."  This misspelling was used first in 1839 by a group called the Anti-Bell-Ringing Society in Boston.  They facetiously changed "all correct" to "oll korrect," and used it as a signal term."
