>Initials of Omnis Korrecta ("all correct")
The fact that half of the rest of the entries are saying "oll korrect" makes me believe that this is the one. Especially with this example too.
>A contemporary news report of the 1866 transatlantic telegraph cable says "The following telegram has been received from Mr. R. A. Glass, Managing Director of the Telegraph Construction and Maintenance Company (Limited) :— 'O.K.,' (all correct)."
- Someone 6y ago- This is a quite late suggestion (from 1935) - the letter ‘k’ is rarely used in Latin (https://latin.stackexchange.com/questions/1084/why-is-the-letter-k-a-rare-letter https://latin.stackexchange.com/questions/1084/why-is-the-le...) - ‘correct’ in Latin is ‘correctus’ (https://www.etymonline.com/word/correct?ref=etymonline_crossreference#etymonline_v_19105 https://www.etymonline.com/word/correct?ref=etymonline_cross...) ⇒ I would think that explanation is completely made up.
