Comment on Anon doesn't wash

  Though, at this point, I’m genuinely convinced you’re AI.

  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.

    You, neither, inferred nor implied that the chickenshit was responsible.

    You explicitly stated it. I am not giving you an English lesson, you do not know what infer or imply means if you think saying “and that’s why” is anything other than a direct statement.

      I did not.

      I stated that eggs have shit on them (implication bein theyre not washed) and thus they don’t need to be refrigerated.

      Who and above all why would reason that I am asserting that the eggs I have I cant spot visible shit on I refrigerate? “My eggs have shit on them” isn’t the same as “all my eggs are covered in shit, and for that reason, none of them need to refrigerated”.

      You’re arguing that a text can’t have implied something if YOU missed it. So when someone tells a joke and others laugh and you don’t, do you tell the person who told the joke they told it wrong and everyone else is wrong to laugh and youre the one who correct because you didn’t laugh?

      If I told my “your mom says hi”, would you think your mom at home just happened to say the word “hi”, or would you read that as me saying I’m fucking your mom? Honest answers now. :)
