I think this should have been a table. Put spellings down the side (I've seen a lot of "oki" online; maybe "A-OK" too, or some humorous misspelling) and possible permutations of punctuations and capitalisation across the top. I want to know how "o.k.ay." makes you sound :p | I think this should have been a table.

:I never paid much attention to this before, but now I see "it." On [[2251]] Randall follows the same style and puts in punctuaction inside the "quotation marks." --[[User:Lupo|Lupo]] ([[User talk:Lupo|talk]]) 15:09, 6 January 2020 (UTC) | :I never paid much attention to this before, but now I see "it."

This is kind of like the LEGO bridge question in What If. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.120|172.69.34.120]] 18:32, 4 January 2020 (UTC) | This is kind of like the LEGO bridge question in What If. [[Special:Contributions/172.69.34.120|172.69.34.120]] 18:32, 4 January 2020 (UTC) | ||

I just added the bit about the readers' narrative voices (see [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2250:_OK/okay/ok&diff=185524&oldid=185508|edit comments] for additional thoughts), but my parenthsisised justification for the 'quoting' looks a bit clunky even to me. Further changes (or at least partial reversion) are welcome, and in fact invited... Fill your boots!

::I have created the new page [[2251]] - looking forward to your explanations, cause I'm lost on that one... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:52, 6 January 2020 (UTC) | ::I have created the new page [[2251]] - looking forward to your explanations, cause I'm lost on that one... --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:52, 6 January 2020 (UTC) | ||
− | + | Hang the fuck on...capitalised looks old, while spelt out in lower case is normal? Really? REALLY? Quote conventions schmote conventions - I'll use whatever style a client dictates, like the obedient little paycheck-chasing copywriter that I am - but "OK" is pretty much universal as far as I'm concerned. | |
− | + | I'm going to cling to this being a transatlantic difference, to "OK" being normal, to "ok" being a typo, to clamping my hands over my ears and saying "Lalala I'm not listening" to anyone who says otherwise, and to thumping anyone who pulls said hands from said ears square in the nose.[[User:Yorkshire Pudding|Yorkshire Pudding]] ([[User talk:Yorkshire Pudding|talk]]) 20:39, 12 January 2020 (UTC) | |
