[Lexicog] Lacunae

[Mike_Cahill at SIL.ORG]

Hi all,

Neil was undoubtedly playing an old trick on you. See if you're "gullible
enough" to actually look this up. It's like another one, a piece of paper
which has "How to keep a moron (insert your favorite derogatory people
group) busy for hours - see other side." And it has the same thing written
on the other side...

IS THIS REALLY TRUE?

 What do you mean that "gullible" isn't in English dictionaries (it is in
 most of my English dictionaries)? And do you have a suggestion for
 rectifying that problem?

  The word gullible is not in  English dictionaries.
