An article written by Elly van Gelderen, an English professor and news reports confirms that OK is the most spoken word on the planet. According to the detailed reports, the word 'THE' tops the league tables of most frequently used words in English, and it is used about 5% of every 100 words used. Jonathan Culpeper, professor of linguistics at Lancaster University said that word 'The' is miles above everything else. George Zipf, a 20th-Century U.S. linguist, and philologist had predicted that short and simple words would be most frequently used. The word OK was started using in 1839, and it’s been used only for about 180 years. It has become the most spoken word on the planet. OK is so versatile that it can be used as a noun, verb, an adjective, conjunction or an interjection.
