I configure J to display verbs using its linear representation.

With this, hooks get displayed differently from forks:
   ++++++++++
+ (+ + + + + + + + +)

You can also use this style when writing, though I often
feel it's overkill.  Note also that you get spaces between
each verb in a train, in this representation.

More generally, when I am trying to understand a verb, I like
trying the verb with plausible data within a J session.  If I still
do not understand the verb, I often also experiement with
sub-expressions.

Or, if I do not comprehend anything about the verb's domain, I
feel that the verb is improperly documented.
