    Looks like some big birds in them parts. I didn't know the Vril could fly, but what other explanation could there be.

    Which is a different word, and describes the passing on of an inference. Pritch's Pet Peeve is upheld, thanks for playing.

    Aaaand...back on topic.

    National Security Advisor is goneburger. Due to "vulnerabilty to blackmail from Russia"

    Ironic as fuck really. Probably less contact with Russia than Trumpski.
    But was the real reason, because he lied to Pense ?

    Discuss - without bringing in imaginary beings please...

    Positive move I think, guy loses his job due to his lack of transparency in his performance of it. One of the key obstacles preventing the trump administration from acknowledging reality is a lack of transparency.

    Was it the real reason? who knows, all we (they) can ask for is transparency...

    No, the inference would still be of the one doing the passing on. To infer (#4) is to explain one's own inference to others, as per the example in the link you provided.

    #4 to hint; imply; suggest

    It's there in plain English.

    TDL could infer, his post (to which you referred) cannot infer, much less contain an inference. The interpretation is clear; it is ok to learn something now and then KM, not everything needs to fit in with what you wish it to be. Obviously this is the problem DT has as well; his GDP nonsense, the crowd size and weather at his inauguration, voter fraud, etc.

    Perhaps this type of behavior is just symptomatic of access to a plethora of opinions and echo chambers (internet) and a weak mind (placing a higher importance on what one wants to believe, than what is). Here's hoping humanity as a whole can learn to avoid this after examples like President Trump. John Oliver may rub some people the wrong way with his presentation, but in this (and many other cases) he is bang on.

    If you infer something, it is therefore your inference.

    Don't blame me - I didn't invent the English language.

    Its going to take them a while to sort themselves out, maybe a night of long lives, bit of kristallnacht, maybe some lebensraum, we have a few years to go.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Correct. But not applicable to your context.

    A handy hint, an inferred meaning comes from the reader/listener, and implied one, from the writer/speaker or written/spoken text. Ie, you inferred an implication from TDLs post.

    Not according to point #4.

    Like I said - it's there in plain English.

    I'll vote for that...Start you own thread on grammar please. You're setting new records for off topic idiocy.
