To Lose a Battle, But To Win The War
"sorry pet peeve of mine (and I know tabs loves grammar like he loves his spoons).
The 2nd *implies* that the individual has the right to bear arms. Tabs (or anyone else) *infers* that when they read it. Good explanation of this: Communication consists of a message, a sender, and a receiver. The sender can imply, but the receiver can only infer. The error that usually occurs is that the word infer is mistakenly used for imply. WRONG: Are you inferring that I am a fool? RIGHT: Are you implying that I am a fool? If someone gets the idea from your behavior that you are a fool, then he is inferring that you are a fool. But if he is subtly letting you know that he thinks so, then he is implying that you are a fool. You, of course, can infer from his implication that he thinks you are a fool. IMPLY = to put the suggestion into the message (sender implies) INFER = to take the suggestion out of the message (receiver infers) IMPLICATION = what the sender has implied INFERENCE = what the receiver has inferred" Nostatus OK, OK so I'm a dimwit when it comes to grammer. How many times do I have to admit it. However Nostatus you seem to have taken to heart what I said...and I say GOOD FOR YOU.

BTW: Nostatus now you can also tell them just how far off the Richter Scale I am with my abstract constructs.

Copyright tabs!
Thanks for the English lesson. I was not aware of the distinction.
