Yeah, but no one pays any attention to them. :) Besides, that's an informal enough phrase, anyhow, so as not to have nor need a fixed orthography. > < > < "Ok, dokey" is an affirmative reply to someone named, "dokey". ;) > < > > In that case our othography committee would tell us to use uppercase > for "Dokey". Yeah, well, so would ours, but people spell their names all sortsa ways. I guess they could be called, "dokey" (pronounced "D/oh-/key," not "d/oo/key") withouth that being the actual name or anything. ;) > But of course German kids are not allowed -- by law -- to be > baptized "Dokey" anyway. Most sensible. But here in the US, we have so many people with ancestors hailing from so many parts of the world that just about any name will work. As long as it's not similar sounding to something lewd or some other word that schoolmates can use to taunt the poor dear with. And Amerrricans train their kids to be cruel. > Maybe a typo for "Okay, do key" ? Can you say "do key" instead of > "press key" ? Also possible. Hand't thought of that, tho. ;) -- John Weiss
