Ray, You quoted the meaning of moron from <<The Cambridge International Dictionary of English>> and the <<Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary>> Had you access to a *real* dictionary, you moron, perhaps you would have found a singularly more appropriate definition -- at least in the caustic case of your partisan prose. <w> <bg> From the 1933 (pre supplement) Oxford English Dictionary (the real McCoy!): Moron. Obs. [F. , moron, mouron (OF. moronne. 14th c.).] A variety of salamander. 1774 GOLDSMITH Nat. Hist. (1824) III. 158 "With respect to the Salamander, the whole tribe, from the Moron to the Gekko, are said to be venomous to the last degree." C'mon, Ray, upgrade your reference library!
