Daily Lesson 7
More of the subject of "Okay"
In modern parlance, "okay" is often used to indicate approval or
indorsement ("Is that okay?" "Yes, that's okay."). Try using these
phrases instead:
"Is that acceptable?"
"Doth this meet with thine approval?"
"Aye, 'tis well indeed."
"I most heartily approve."
Shakespearian Word/Phrase of the Day:
Upon the gad - on the spur of the moment
"Upon the gad, I entered into the tourney."
