The community's name may be a direct transfer from the state of Oklahoma. Oklahoma is a name ultimately derived from the Choctaw language meaning "red people".[2]
gollark: My school (not university, I think the equivalent is high school or something elsewhere) is handling it *somewhat* okay, but possibly partly because it would mostly be revision for the (now cancelled) GCSEs anyway at this point.
gollark: Surely at least part of the point of the grades you get from school/whatever is to show that you're actually qualified to do whatever subject it is.
gollark: That sounds like it would basically make the grades for the year meaningless.

gollark: HERETIC!
