When I was a child (single digits) I thought it was called Star Track and that my father, who spoke with an accent, was simply mispronouncing it. He would say, 'Star Trek is on." And I would say, "Star Track" as I ran over to the den to watch. Then, one day I read the title of the show on the television screen and realized there was a word spelled t-r-e-k. So I turned to the hundred-pound hard cover dictionary to find out what it meant. I remember telling my father that it was TREK not TRACK. He responded sarcastically, "Oh, really?"
