0 fv1609 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 ......that 'Gullible' is the only word not to appear in the Oxford English Dictionary? Oh come on, we're not that gullible:) Yes you are right actually. But it does appear in my Imperial Dictionary of the English Language of 1850. But not in the dictionary section of my Maunder's Treasury of Knowledge 1855, nor Cassells New English Dictionary 1935, nor my OED 1964. Very strange has the word just been kept alive by usage since 1850 but officially ignored, I wonder why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Tugger Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 They say cleanliness is next to Godliness... I beg to differ, the OED says Goblin's next to Godliness. I thank you...I'm here all week... is that my taxi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
