So isn't one person implying and the other person inferring? I always took it to mean, the listener is inferring what the speaker is saying when Peter says 'infer.' So I think you guys are saying the same thing. LOL :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Kitty-chan But in language 2 people are communicating.

So often, you say that something is inferred, when you mean that it is implied. As a school teacher, this drives me sideways, as you are also a teacher setting an example. Remember the listener infers, but the speaker implies. Or if you like, Sherlock Holmes infers, but Mark Twain implies. ありがとうごさいます グレッグ ピーターさん

Your treatment of the verbs is very useful. The various usages of the progressive forms of the verb confuse me. Also polite forms like ーてもらう also confuse me. I was surprised that the "staff" was "receiving" the question rather than the student. Thanks John C. Briggs BTW, I have seen them do a "hidden camera" feature on dropped wallets in Boston. I think only about 25% of the wallets are returned despite the owner's address being clearly listed in the wallet. Peterさん,
