Semi related question: Did you pick up the word "grok" from reading Stranger in a Strange Land or from somewhere else?
That book was so much about the importance of the martian language and how language shapes perception.
- gravitas 7y agoFor me, I learned the word from the Jargon file first where it explains it was from the book, I then read the book later on in life. http://catb.org/jargon/html/G/grok.html http://catb.org/jargon/html/G/grok.html
