Implying and Inferring

Inferring and implying can be easily confused as the same thing but are actually two different ideas or concepts. Implying is when you say something without actually saying the thing you were implying.  An example of this would be when you say, “Adam looks like Brad Pitt” you are implying that Adam is good looking or handsome like Brad Pitt without actually saying it. Inferring is different in the at is saying a idea or premise and having your audience mistake it for something else and inferring its something you never said in the wrong way.  This could make the audience believe you are saying something you are not and infer a argument that is not there. An example of this would be when you say “ Jeff sees that people coming in with shorts on so he automatically thinks infers that it’s hot outside without actually having anything stated verbally.  Inferring and implying can happen in any claim you must jump the gun and keep your audience with you so you can present a clear and correct argument.
