The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education. In fact,he had difficulty reading and writing. When important papers came to Jackson,he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said. If he approved of a paper. he would write“all correct”on it.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 Bnren ’ s friends organized a club to help him become President. They came the club--- the Old Kinderhook Club,and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”. (根据短文判断句子正误:正确的用A表示 , 错误的用 B表示) 1.The author is not sure whether the stories are true 2.
