Could you plz explain the difference between “ because” and “in that?”
◆ imply暗示する, ほのめかす, たぶん意味する
◆ infer 推量する, 証拠から考えて恐らく真実であるとする
ランダムハウス英和大辞典によると、ずいぶん昔から誤用されてたみたいですね！(驚)
” infer は16世紀以来「暗示する（hint，suggest）」という意味で用いられているが，現代の語法書の中には，これは誤りで，この意味では imply を用いるのが正しいとするものが多い. ”
Infer = deduce
imply = insinuate
