Their dictionary editing team regularly add new words. A less often known fact, however, is that they also remove dead (never used) words as well.

For example of word removal, the word "gullible" was slated for deletion, and has just been removed in an automatic update scheduled to their website www.merriam-webster.com just today.

Ironic, coming from a die-hard religious fanatic.

Not really ironic. He's probably repeating it because he's easily fooled into believing things that he's told, and was suckered in by it.

The only type of person that would post this old, old joke is someone who thought it was clever because it actually fooled him.
