What is the difference between imply and infer?
Okay, I think I get it now. Can you think of any situations where someone might use "imply" and "infer" incorrectly?
Sure, one common mistake is using "imply" when you really mean "infer." For example, saying "I'm going to infer that he's not coming tonight" is incorrect because you should be using "imply" instead. Another mistake is assuming that everyone will infer the same thing from a piece of information, when in reality, different people might interpret it in different ways. It's important to be clear and specific when using these two words to avoid confusion.
