I stand by my point. You should've used implied.

google its use in a sentence? You mean like here: http://sentence.yourdictionary.com/infer (see the comment at the bottom, where the unwitting dude asks if he could've used the word "implied" instead).

Or, if you don't like that one, try Vocabulary.com, quote below, and using an analog with which you should be very familiar:

"CHOOSE YOUR WORDS  CAUGHT BETWEEN WORDS? MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE.
imply/infer
Imply and infer are opposites, like a throw and a catch. To imply is to hint at something, but to infer is to make an educated guess. The speaker does the implying, and the listener does the inferring.

To imply is to suggest something indirectly. If you hand your friend a stack of napkins during dinner, you imply that she needs them. Things can imply, too, like a chimney that implies a fireplace. Check out these examples:

By their very definition, flea markets imply cheap prices for used and unwanted items, as is still the case in most other places. (New York Times)
Stern also implied the entire season might be at risk. (Seattle Times)

It isn't fair to imply that cardiovascular disease is going away. (Nature)

Infer is on the receiving end of imply, yet infer is often used to mean imply. To infer is to gather, deduce, or figure out.Writers tend to know how to use infer correctly:

He talks about having led in the private sector but voters have to infer too much about what that means. (Slate)

They were also better at inferring feelings from images of just the eyes. (Scientific American)

Yet it must not be inferred that farming women are without mental ability or common sense. (Sidney Lewis Gulick)

Like baseball? Theodore Bernstein, in his classic The Careful Writer, gives us a way to keep imply and infer straight: "The implier is the pitcher; the inferrer is the catcher."

You quit. Since when does a pitcher want to be confused with a catcher?

You try way too hard.  It's exactly as Shuffler stated...it's context and you're, again, forcing a round peg in a hexagon. I used it correctly.

We'll leave it there. I accept your common usage and contextual defense - even though I wouldn't do it myself.

Of the C.202 kills for the last tour are all minez.   <self-promoting stats geek alert> 

Had 90%, but some hornswogglin' bushwhackin' cracker-croaker snuck a kill in there on the last day. 


Probably filled in the C.202 checkbox on "Kill Every Plane In The Game" for quite a few lucky noobs. 

So THATS what was stuck on the bottom of my shoe!

Perfect.  And I accept your need to run your post count up by posting nothing related to the OP...even though I wouldn't do it myself.

I don't care about my post count, but I'd say I scored about 5, you 4. But, there's always the potential for evening that up ( and I'm counting on it).

[Shuffler]

Darn... I still just want to know how many licks it takes to get to the juicy tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

According to the owl, it was 3.

The owl used hacks -- he's gaming the game!

Before anyone asks here it is Early war just a short time ago.

You will have to ask him why he kept towering out again and again?

[PJ_Godzilla]

It's just mastery of ACM, or perhaps an adoption of the dominant game strategy, of whom one of our number was a great proponent until fairly recently...

[Tumor]

You are all mistaken.

Infer: the reason for incarceration.

"What are you infer?"

Is that like a dikfer?

[PJ_Godzilla]

Is that like a dikfer?

Yes, except that most people know what's a dikfer, especially in prison.
