I wanted to reassure her that everything would be okay. I wanted to reassure her that everything would be ok. So as I get through my last edit I want to double check a few things. This time it's choosing between 'ok' and 'okay'. Does anyone have a definitive answer? Personally I think either is alright, but I am a novice. -Brad
@Bookster Do you have to use caps when using 'ok'? (So with this I can either use OK or okay?) Thanks for the reply.
I looked it up at Grammer Girl (a great resource, btw). She says that it is a style choice, but that the Chicago Manual of Style (often used by fiction writers) reccomends "okay" while the AP style book for newspapers reccomends "OK." Me personally? I would go with okay--okay?
It's important to note that most publishers use the Chicago Manual of Style, so I say go with what they recommend. Personally, I agree with the CMoS and prefer "okay" as well.
