    I have noticed in my own travels, that it's always a male who misuses "infer" when he actually means "imply". I'm sure there is no actual hard evidence that men are stupider with regards to conflating the two words as interchangeable. After all, my evidence for such a conclusion is strictly anecdotal. But the way they act so pompous, in all their ignorance! It's quite funny, really.
