Sorry, but there will be no joke today. Instead, an important message.
We normally do not do surveys but we feel this matter is important enough to bend that rule. The Committee to Investigate Printing Sabotage (CIPS) has
requested our assistance. They said, "The thousands of readers of GCFL, the worldwide range of the group, and the well known fact that GCFL members
are of much higher than average intelligence make them uniquely qualified to perform this survey." We couldn't agree more!
This is the problem. During the printing process of some editions (and printings) of dictionaries deliberate sabotage has taken place. In some cases
the word "gullible" has been left out, in others it has been placed slightly out of alphabetical order. Please take just a minute to perform the
following inspection. Check your dictionary and reply back to
cips@gcfl.net
using the following format:
I have checked my dictionary and it DOES / DOES NOT (choose only one) contain the word, "gullible."
If it does contain "gullible," the word immediately before it is __________________________ and immediately after is __________________________.
My edition is
(complete title) __________________________________
(publish date) ___________.
CIPS appreciates your efforts. Results of the GCFL survey will be posted Monday (April 1, 2002), and will be forwarded to CIPS at that time.
Thanx to the Thought for the Day mailing list for bringing this important issue to GCFL's attention.
