"okey" is wrong. O.K. should have periods. Okay is the correct way to spell it. Having said all that - you can do "ok" without, but never "okey"

its an interesting question and i think that we people always try to write, which we are comfortable with and also easier and from which we can finish it up fast in a short time and we think that it is only to convey the message we use these words and anything is fine. and also there are a few people who pronounce the words differently and then they write it in a different spelling.

actually the correct word is just OK - there is no real reason why or how the term cam about although there are many opinions. okay is the longer version which is also correct way to spell it although not phonetically correct. okey is not a word :)

definitely i can say "okey" is not the correct word.. okay - I use this word during chat with my dear one and friends. Ok - I think this is just a short of "Okay" & no difference in meaning or pronunciation. Finally, my short explanation is okay fro you?

Ok, it an exclamation, an adjective , an adverb and a noun too. While the British form is OK the Americans put it as 'Okay' meaning the same. Okay?

From what I know, the correct word is O.K. To my knowledge the word originates back in history, to a time of war, when each morning they posted the number of human losses. In that context, OK meant "zero killed" This is a Wikipedia page treating the subject more thoroughly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okay
