Is it? Perhaps you should check to make sure.
-
How do you know?

And if you believe this, you have proved the need for it in modern usage.

We shall show those gullible bastards what is used and what not. *wink wink*

If only it were irrelevant to Bush before we went searching for WMDs.

So you think we are all dupable about the word gullible.

What is the source of this information?
-
Even if it were to be removed, it WOULD still remain in use, you gullible fool! :-D

Ah come on...you gotta try harder than that on April Fool's! Haha;)

I'm not gullible enough to believe that gullible is not in the dictionary.

I believe your question is intended to cause me to look it up to prove you wrong..well, I'm really comfy here and I do believe it is in the dictionary! :)

Really? Now where's that dictionary....

I beg to differ: gul·li·ble [gúllÉ™b’l] adj easily duped: tending to trust and believe people, and therefore easily tricked or deceived [Early 19th century. Formed from gull2 .] -gul·li·bil·i·ty [gùllÉ™ bíllÉ™tee], n -gul·li·bly [gúllÉ™blee], adv Encarta ® World English Dictionary © & (P) 1998-2004 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Actually, it is, but they just spelled it wrong so it looks like another word.

LOL! ROFL! Someone would have to be -certifiable- to remove that word.

Not just this: "Did you know, that despite its popularity and overuse, the word "gullible" is not now, nor has it ever been included in any standard dictionary?" Source and further information: http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=print_topic;f=83;t=000955 ;-)

is it really?
-
:rolleyes: one of the oldest trick in the book.
-
Considering the immense number of arcane and obscure words in there, I'm not worried about gullible. It is true, however, that "respek" is not to be found in any dictionary.

Oh, yeah? They should visit Anytown, USA on a Sunday morning before actually going thru with that
