The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact,he had difficulty reading and writing.

The problem was that he didn"t know how to spell. So what he really wrote was “ol korekt”. After a while,he shortened that term to “OK”.
The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born,Kinderhook,New York. Van Buren"s friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club the Old Kinderhook Club,and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “OK”.
