"it should be ok" vs "it should be fine"

"It should be fine" and "it should be OK" are two ways to say that you think something will be acceptable to others.

Last Updated: March 20, 2019

it should be ok

This is correct

In formal writing, you can either write "OK" in capital letters (OK), or you can write out the word "okay."

In informal settings, like text messages, writing "ok" in lowercase is generally acceptable.
