Indeed... OK. But do you think the Examiners on the Tuning Test to be "gullible"? Are they easily "taken in", deceived, duped or credulous? The word "gullible" is taken from "gull" - a "dupe" or "simple" person - like Simon actually. Who's Simon? I hear you cry. The bumpkin who met a pieman. That is all extracted from the "Universal English Dictionary" with all of 1752pp. In Romanian it is: "naiv", "credul", "lesnecrezator". Just thought you'd like to know.....
