My Webster's Unabridged says it's also spelled gullable.

I guess that means it really is in the dictionary.

Jim,

My wife accuses me of making up answers to questions when I think

I

know the answer. She may be right. I usually couch these

answers in

some kind of weasel worded caveat. I am never offended when

someone

who has the real stuff says so.

Did you know that the word gullable was not in the dictionary?
