The more defining characteristic of a genius is that they tend to reach insightful and correct conclusions faster than others, which is the exact inverse of what you've been doin in this series of threads. This ones actually my favourite. Paul Frindle says the opposite of what you think he does. 

God MrT, I pitty the fool.  I say everything with a dash of salt and pinch of whatever.  It all leads to good fun.  I never said I was a genius, i infered I might be, big difference.  It will be up to history to judge me.

Sorry MrT you really have to learn that when you wear your shirt backwards everything comes out forward even poo!!!

Please learn the difference between inferred and implied. Among the many ways you butcher the English language, that is the most annoying.

4. To hint; imply.

v.intr. To draw inferences.



Definitely inferred look at the original statement. i said I was not but then gave a few examples of genius which I hinted I might possess.  Look to the above dictionary meaning.

Actually you should learn to use the English language properly. 

Finally we are def talking about two different ways to record what nobody seems to get is that I'm a hybrid musician.  I use real instruments and non real instruments.

Listen to Don't Mean Maybe on my soundcloud page an example of hybrid recording also it's sister track which has real guitars, bass and vocals Slim Red Times.

Then to muddy the waters Girl is 99% real and recorded in a studio, tell me what's wrong with that recording.

Finally Everday which is a perfect example of my digital punk recording ethos. It's all acoustic.

You keep inferring my ideas are daft but here are examples of my work including Girl which got 87% for my studio project. This was marked by a highly regarded studio engineer.

So bite me!

87% on a college project? Well, obviously a genius then. Must be. Hybrid musician you say? Like synths AND non-synthetic instruments? Nobody's ever done that before. YOU'VE BLOWN MY MIND.

AAAAIIIIEEEEEE!!!!!!

As ever, you are totally WRONG with your absurd statement.

To correct you, so that you might get it right in the future, you can only draw an inference from a statement or point of view that someone else has made, i.e. external to yourself. You yourself don't/can't infer something.
You can imply something, ie you're a genius <LMFAO> but not the other way around.

You are no different to the VAST majority of people on this forum.
I've been using a mixture of real guitars/keyboards with no real instruments for at least 20 years, so please, don't run away with the idea that you are unique in working this way

You're unique in a couple of other areas but this is probably not the place to discuss them.

Actually, I think "infer" is one of those words that several dictionaries have now added Ben's meaning to, as so many people now use it that way. For my money, it's an error, but I don't think this dictionary battle is going to get anywhere.

That "hybrid musician" thing is hysterical though. This is the thing with Ben, no matter what the topic, he's so clueless, across the board, that pretty much anything can amaze him. But he thinks that his amazement means that a thing is, de facto, amazing. Synths AND guitars? What like Joe Meek in the 50s, or like practically everyone since the late 60s? Finger on the pulse.

It might be the dictionary meaning but he's using it out of context/direction.

Inference is one way, implication is the other way.

I agree with you. Tragically, Merriam-Webster doesn't. It's the downfall of civilisation.
