It wasn't taken out... it was never there. The word you are talking about - GULLABLE - is not a word. GULLIBLE is a word and is in the dictionary and has been for a long long time!
GULLIBLE
adj 1: easily deceived or tricked; "at that early age she had been gullible and in love" [syn: fleeceable, green] 2: easily tricked because of being too trusting; "gullible tourists taken in by the shell game"

I believe that they're taking the word "gullable" out--it's not a word--the word is "gullible." And yes, I knew you what you were trying.

I didn't know that...I also knew the def. of that word which is like easily deceived, but I thought they already took the word out of the dictionary...Those people don't have the right to govern the english language...Gullible is still a word though.
Oh gosh, you tricked me...k k k, I'm gullible on this question then, lol...

Really? Why would they do that? I have an old dictionary, should I cut "gullible" out of it so I don't have to buy a new one?

No,I didn't know that. Who are "they"? Is that even posible?
If it is true,I think the word gullible will stay in English language,altough it is out of the dictionary.

Are you in any way linked with the management authorised to change the words from the dictionary.I know you are not then why are you spreading rumours.Do not tell me it is not a rumour.

I should hope so, the word is "gullible", with an "i", not "a".
