What makes you angry? Get it off your chest so we can laugh at your impotent rage.

I can see how that was confusing.
I didn't mean that it was an abbreviation of "okay," I just meant that "okay" is how you write the actual word people actually say. And if you're going to use the original abbreviation, write it like an abbreviation, not like you've just left the ay off. Writing a sentence like this: ' "Ok." She said. ' just looks weird. It should either be OK or okay, and preferably the latter in ACTUAL DIALOGUE.
Also, I've seen Polanski's Macbeth and... was he on drugs? Or just a little over-enthusiastic about what counted for special effects back then?
Anyway, it doesn't hold a candle to the bizarre black and white Soviet version with all the peasants marching in the snow!
