With frosting still on her face, she asked David if he was "inferring" that she ate it. David pointed straight at the whipped cream on her cheek and cleared up one of the most misused pairs in the English language:
👉 Use IMPLY as the speaker/writer when you suggest or hint at something without stating it directly (You send the signal).
👉 Use INFER as the listener/reader when you draw a conclusion or deduce meaning from hints or evidence (You receive the signal).
Emma didn't miss a beat—she announced that since David's expression "implied" he was upset, she would happily "infer" that he needed to bake her a brand new cake! Absolutely untamed logic! 🤦♂️🤣
