LOL

I used to say "I Grok" - to convey a sense of understanding.

Now, I use simplified American Standard English or depending on the audience, a simpler "Yo, word"

The word "grok" comes from the Heinlein novel "Stranger in a Strange Land", a very good one.

60Gunner, please, put me on your ping list. Your stories are quite entertaining and I would hate to miss any.
