    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.

    https://www.scribbr.com/commonly-confused-words/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.

      Edit: Tagged. I’ll be sure to point out how wrong you are if I see you around.

        I did not.

        I stated that my eggs have shit on them (implication being they’re 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 but can’t 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 be refrigerated”.

        You’re arguing that a text can’t have implied something if YOU didn’t infer the same thing.

        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’s correct because you didn’t laugh?

        If I told you “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. :)

            So you know if you don’t clown around and try to give a proper answer, it’ll show you’re wrong, so you just pretend like you weren’t serious at any point by spamming utter gibberish.

            Very mature.

            Well, you’re welcome for the English lesson. Seems like you at least tried learning the concepts.

            Jax you are absolutely in the wrong on this and Dasus’ only sin is the cringe of engaging with you, far more embarrassing for you lol

            when you misunderstand someone and they correct you, apologize, listen to what they have to say, and provide a suggestion for how they might better express the thought later if you want

              My water has minerals in it and that is why stains are left on things that have water dry on them.

              My soil has good nutrients and that is why mushrooms are active.

              My eggs have chickenshit on them and that is why they don’t need refrigeration.

              Good to know, I’ll have you tagged as a fucking idiot as well. By the way, don’t listen to this person: the ratio is still 7:1 in terms of shelf life. Refrigerated vs unrefrigerated, respectively. Not only are they bad at English, they’re just fucking wrong.

                oh dear not the personal attacks. XD do you go into a rage at the weatherman when he says “the barometric pressure just dropped and that is why you should look out for storms pretty soon” too?

                you: “nooooo, actually storms are caused by a complex dynamic of interactions in the atmosphere including moisture and instability. barometric pressure does NOT CAUSE STORMS you are a FUCKING IDIOT and BAD AT ENGLISH weather man”

                that’s you that’s how you sound ;P

                and then they clarify, saying: “ah, you are absolutely correct; to clarify your misunderstanding, the barometric pressure thing is only a strong indicator of oncoming weather—i was just letting you know why i thought it was a good idea to prepare”

                you: seething noises

                when you misunderstand someone and they correct you, apologize, listen to what they have to say, and provide a suggestion for how they might better express the thought later if you want.
