What does this mean?  SignatureMatSav > "...deeply grok..."? What does this mean? 'grok tr.v. Slang., grok·ked, grok·king, groks. To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy.' American Heritage Dictionary 'grok To have a thorough understanding of a subject. The word comes from Robert Heinlein's "Stranger in a Strange Land," and it means "to drink" in Martian. Of course. But more specifically in the book, it meant to take something in so thoroughly that it becomes part of you.' Computer Encyclopedia 'The Oxford English Dictionary defines it as "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with", while in the intransitive sense it is defined as "to empathize or communicate sympathetically with; also, to experience enjoyment." The OED also specifies the alternate spelling "grock".' Wikipedia <http://www.answers.com/grok?cat=technology&gwp=13> is very informative. SignatureT.E.D.
