"Historical footnote. The word "gullible" was accidently omitted by Dr Sam Johnson from his original dictionary, and to this day it is not found in any printed dictionary out of respect for the great man. "

More delusional ramblings hoping to brainwash us gullible dupes ... sigh... It's a regular 1 April joke mate - I have a wall full of dictionaries next to me, and more at my own home - many general English ones as well as specific area one, eg computing, nursing, (2 at random) and others...

Etymology
