Re: Four smaller things that WoW did best
"Grokked" is a term that Raph borrowed by the Robert A Heinlein classic "Stranger in a Strange Land." Same guy who wrote Starship Troopers...the book not the movie, which is pretty different.
The main character comes from Mars, actually a human raised by martians then rescued by humans. Being raised by Martians Smith has a somewhat different perspective and way of thinking than normal humans.
In any case "Grok" means to thoroughly understand something.
Nice article by the way.
