* implying

To infer is to deduce from evidence presented.

Sorry - I'm OCD about English, and this is a pet peeve of mine.

That's certainly true.....but several dictionaries (particularly US-based ones) now contain a 2nd definition equivalent to 'implying', or 'hinting' e.g.:

I stand corrected.

I wasn't aware of that!

Carry on, ash!

On the game - I finished watching the replay. What did Klemmer do at the end to start the melee? I didn't see anything.

 

[Strangenuts]

From memory he lifted Scott's leg high to get him in a dangerous position, which seemed un-warranted for that stage of the game.

Lifted Beau Scott into a dangerous/spear tackle position

Klemmers a f**kwit ... i know we nsw people are obliged to like him cos we have to hope he can bash a few queenslanders, but lets call a spade a spade ... he's a massive implement

The Oxford people will agree with your original point 100% mate (so would I). It's just a case of the accepted meaning of words gradually changing over time as people constantly 'misuse' them Soon 'augurs well' and 'all goes well' will be the same phrase.

It's a little strange, isn't it?

Sign of the times, I suppose!

Yep. It's in his genes. A massive grub.

Not to mention 'verse' will become acceptable as a verb :crazy:

Yeh, we lost that one some time ago I reckon

.......and 'I'm adverse to X'.

Experts, well supposed ones, have called him and Fifita to be picked for Origin cause of their aggression. God help us if they both get picked, having watched them play, Queensland's penalty count will be doubled.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Just on the game, I thought it was a gutsy win, considering before the match we lost Foran, then we lost Moaroa, and then during the game Gordon and Mannah came off forcing a reshuffle.

Ok the Dogs didn't play their best, but theyre the sort of team who even not at their best can trouble teams for a period of 10-20 minutes.

I believe Parramatta's attitude has changed since Foran and Scott have to come to the club, we're more committed in defence and attack.

Regardless of what happens with points loss or fine, the boys will continue to put in good performance each week.

"verse" was never a verb in Firefly..

'verse as it is used in Firefly, is a short term for Universe.

As for Imply vs. infer, I will defer to Eelementary on that one, which was why I said okie dokie, have always got those mixed up.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I cant believe im on my own nominating Peats in the 3,2,1 points thread.
His defence was amazing added to a much improved offensive performance out of dummy half. His service was crisp and at speed. He also had a few datrs that had the Dogs back peddling. Cant argue against the suspects of Norman, Scott, Gutho and Taka. They were all amazing but so was Peatsy. A massive game in my opinion.

I think you're all good, mate - Barry pointed out that the secondary definition of "infer" has been added to make it synonymous with "imply".

I have always used the traditional meanings ("imply" is to hint, and "infer" is to deduce), but times are changing!
