Are you OK or well?

Okay (or OK) is one of the most widely used words not only in English but in many other languages too. It’s very likely that you use ‘okay’ when you speak your mother tongue. So, what is the difference between ‘OK’ and ‘good’? For starters, we don’t know for sure how exactly the word ‘OK’ originated while ‘good’ is of Germanic origin, related to the Dutch word ‘goed’ and the German word ‘gut. Apart from that, OK is rather informal and can be used in a myriad of contexts and situations. Now, to add a third word to the mix – what about the word ‘well’? How does it relate to both ‘OK’ as well as ‘good’. Well, how about you take our test on OK, good and well?

Let me your result if you like.

I took the test and got 9/10. The reason for this is I doubted myself and contemplated the answer way too long. Literally, setting myself up to pick the wrong one . Well, this test might have been okay but it taught me an important lesson and that is to never doubt myself!

here is where I went wrong:

We should strive for world peace for the … of mankind.

I foolishly clicked on “well” instead of “good”.
