Why? Who does not know what okay means?

Because every word is in the dictionary (most people know what "it", "the", "door", and other random words mean, but they're still in there), and if a word isn't in the dictionary, it's generally regarded as invalid. Okay is a valid word, therefore it should be in the dictionary, and it's just stupid not to put it in. Though I think "okay" is in the version of the dictionary I have.

Why fight for it though, do you REALLY want to see what they would put as the definition? There are plenty of other words that every single person >5 years old on the planet knows that are not in the dictionary, but so what. It's redundant to put them there and wastes ink and paper. "It" and "the" are quite complex words, actually, could you define them in a sentence? "Something you put in front of a word" or "two letters to say something without naming it" aren't proper definitions.

As far as I know, "the" is something like a definite article ("a" being an indefinite one, and "article" meaning a word referring to something), and "it" would be a pronoun used to refer to an object? But everyone knows how to use those words in context anyway. The definition isn't the point, anyway. It's the fact that words aren't really regarded as valid/official words until they're in the dictionary. And there are a lot of words still in the dictionary that nobody uses anymore, like "mercurial", "surfeit", and "temblor", just to name a few. Words that nobody uses probably waste more ink and paper than those that people do use but don't need defined. Not to mention that there are loads of words in the dictionary that everyone knows the meaning of. Maybe my examples weren't the greatest, but things like "window", "chair", "dog", "cat", etc. Probably don't need to be in the dictionary since everyone knows what they mean.

But why. Are you personally offended because Okay is your favourite word? Do you not like explaining what it means in your own words to foreigners? WHY do you want it published? It's just slang. Lots of words aren't published, you don't fight for them though, do you? "Gonna" isn't there, and people use it all the time. My point is, who cares?

No. I don't really care that much, I just agree with the post and am of the opinion that it should be in the dictionary. However, I don't care enough to think about it or worry about it or do anything about it. I am mostly on the side of not caring.
