am I missing something? - the significance of mis-spelling "og" for of ?

Translations - It is incorrect to say Piet Hein translated the grooks. Some of the books in English say 'with the assistance to Jens Arup'. This can't be used - primary 'research' i.e anecdotal evidence - I once lived in the house of someone who grew up as a neighbour and friend of Jen's children. He said grook composition was a teatime game in the Arup household and Jens had translated the original grooks from Danish to English.
