folks familiar with it, I'll choose another word.

Thursday 17 March:
4 p.m. EDT

Heinlein would have to have written it down phonetically from spoken Martian. While he has it as “grok” in the Latin alphabet, this was a somewhat arbitrary choice on his part. I don’t think there’s any British or American, right or wrong, here unless we first agree that anything Heinlein transcribed has to be written his way and only his way. :)
