Charlatan

I've removed this, which had already been commented out :

<!--VERIFY THIS.... The adjective ''cerretano'' means "citizen of Cerreto di Spoleto," which is where English gets the word ''charlatan.''-->

My OED gives the etymology as ciarlatano - "babble" which sounds plausible. If anyone has a WP:RS for a link to Cerreto, let's have it. FlagSteward (talk) 21:48, 1 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
