Default how do you pronounce Grob?

I hear most people pronounce Grob with a B on the end


Thatīs the correct pronounciation.

So Grob should really be pronouced Gross.


There could be jokes about "Gross" leading to "gross weight", but they are
not pronounced that way ;-))


The funnier joke is that grob is the Russian word for coffin.
