I would like to once and for all clear up the spelling of the term MORON.
Many people on GLP spell MORON, MORAN...
Forget the urban dictionary, lets see what the World's leading Dictionary states regarding the spelling and meaning of both MORAN and MORON:
See below....
MORAN
(moran)
A member of the warrior group of the Masai people of East Africa, which comprises the younger unmarried males.
Origin: Masai
MORON
(moron)
Informal
A stupid person: We can’t let these thoughtless morons get away with mindless vandalism every weekend.
Origin: early 20th century (as a medical term denoting an adult with a mental age of about 8–12): from Greek mōron, neuter of mōros 'foolish'.
SOURCE: Concise Oxford Dictionary (THE WORLD's MOST TRUSTED DICTIONARIES)

I was very relieved to see that Trinity (GLP owner) spelt the word MORON, in a recent thread he made.
So there you have it, it's spelt MORON.... NOT MORAN, unless you are talking about Masai Warriors, which isn't exactly a big put-down being compaired to a Warrior.
