No, that’s what you inferred from them, incorrectly.

You can argue what you meant until the stars die. It doesn’t change anything.

Exactly. Everyone here knows what I meant, except you, who wanted to boast with their chicken expertise, so you had to pretend as if I had meant that excrement is protective. And it would be exceedingly hilariously of you to tell me what I meant with my words.

We all know how strong a disgust reflex shit causes. We know it’s not healthy to eat it. Thats why — for the the majority of us — that can be left as an implication.

You can pretend until the stats side indeed. You’ll still be wrong.

Got it buddy, you definitely know English better than I do. Continue on, definitely speaking English clearly and correctly.

  Are you pretending you don’t understand that autocorrect obviously changed “stars die” to “stats side”, when I’m painfully obviously copying your earlier message?
  
  You’re pretending that autocorrect mistakes have something to do with linguistic capacity?
  
  Alright. Did you infer or imply that? ;>

    I read what I write after I write it.
    
    Unlike you, clearly, which is why you have “typos”. Though, at this point, I’m genuinely convinced you’re AI.
    
    I’ve pointed out why you’re wrong, you’ve decided to argue. You are wrong, every English teacher will tell you you’re wrong, and anyone that can write in English correctly will tell you you’re wrong.
    
    Silence, now. Before I link you the wikipedia definition of Dunning-Kruger.

    Then god you’re shit at detecting LLM’s and attempts at insults. There’s plenty of checkers you know. Go ahead and run my comments thorough them, hunny.
    
    Yes I often comment quickly late at night and dont care to proofread. I’m not ashamed of it on Lemmy. For anything that matters I do proofread ofc.
    
    That doesn’t mean I don’t have a better grasp on English than you. It just means I’m less anal.
    
    I’ve pointed out why you’re wrong, you’ve decided to argue. You are wrong, every English teacher will tell you you’re wrong, and anyone that can write in English correctly will tell you you’re wrong.
    
    Not a single one will. You’d like to argue that, since you don’t understand how well you’re demonstrating ignorance of how “implication” and “infer” even differ.
    
    You’ve inferred something which I did not imply.
    
    www.scribbr.com/…/infer-vs-imply/
    
    Imply and infer are two transitive verbs that are commonly confused. Their meanings are closely related, but they shouldn’t be used interchangeably.
    
    Imply means to express or suggest something indirectly—without explicitly stating it. Infer means to draw a conclusion from some evidence—in other words, to pick up on something that was implied.
    
    Tip
    
    If you struggle to differentiate between the two words, it’s useful to think of implying as an act of giving information and inferring as an act of receiving information. When you imply something and I infer something from what you said, you’re giving information to me
    
    See mine is an implication. If I had meant the shit is protective in itself, then that would be an explicit statement, and not an implicit one.
    
    I can’t even keep count of how many “native speakers” I end up teaching English to. It’s somewhat amusing.
    
    Oh you should definitely go and open that Dunning-Kruger link. You’re at the dip you’ll see in the graphs, I wager. Confidently pretending you understand linguistics, when you probably slept through your English lessons.

  Well since you can’t point to a single mistake I’ve made and don’t understand the difference between “infer” and “imply”, yes, I think I do have a better grasp on English than you.
