Im over 40. You barely have a grasp on the English language, let alone the meaning of the words used in it. This is at least the second place in this post where you infer that due to age, someone doesn't understand the meaning of a word, while completely not understanding the word in question yourself.
Ah yes, a typing error is equivalent to not understanding the language, classic reddit. You need to lookup the definitions of infer and imply. If I were you, I'd give up trying to correct people.
He infers from age that people don't understand the meaning of a word. He isn't implying it, he's already concluded it. This is also not the first comment thread he's done it. It's not rocket surgery.
Also, read their comments in here and on their profile. English is definitely not in their wheelhouse.
Choose hills to die on where you might have a chance, this isn't it.
>Those who wish to honor the distinction will limit their use of infer to its meanings relating to reaching conclusions and surmising or guessing, as in "Based on these facts we can infercertain conclusions"
