New Speaking of inference...
I infer that you implicitly implicate me as well. I also use question marks in the same manner.

Also, never mind what the dictionary approves, what on earth is the point of using "infer" to mean "imply" when you can just as easily, and with greater clarity, use the latter word?

Sometimes "tolerance" is just a word for not dealing with things.

New infer vs. imply
A speaker implies somthing. A listener infers something.

Probably was the point your point that you were implying. At least that's what I inferred from you statement. :-)

Gave up on you a long time ago. No sense trying to open a mind with such obvious welds keeping it shut.
