How am I doing in general? Would I say I'm okay?

In general, I'm at a crossroads--looking at applying for Social Security and Medicare.

Okay is so generic it almost doesn't give any info to say "I'm okay." My usual response these days is just to say "I'm here" if I want to give a neutral response.

Details happen only if I know you. Or it's a doctor.

But mostly I'm okay.

Are okay and ok the same? Or different? Why?

I should have read ahead on the questions. My bad.

For me, okay and ok (which is usually U/C) and O.K. are all the same. And the dictionary reminds me it can be an adjective, adverb, interjection, noun, or verb. And it can be singular or plural.

Very versatile okay.

And I'll repeat: whichever you choose, use the same one throughout your ENTIRE writing project.

What does it mean (to me) to be okay? Or ok?

First, to me, it ok and okay (and OK and O.K.) are the same. And whichever you choose, use the same one throughout your ENTIRE writing project.

Okay means, you know, 6 - 7. I'm fine. I'm good, but not great, but not bad either. No catastrophes.

It's okay to be okay.

Also, I had never heard of OK Day before today. Thanks for that!
