Accepted Answer

[ɪn'fɜːr] 
inferconclude by reasoning; in logic
When you infer something, you read between the lines. To infer  is to make a well informed guess — if you see your mom’s bag on the table, you might infer that she’s home.
When you infer, you listen closely to someone and guess at things they mean but haven't actually said. It’s like guessing, but not making wild guesses. You're making deductions — guesses based on logic. Another kind of inferring is more scientific, like when a scientist has part of a dinosaur fossil and can infer what the rest of the dinosaur looked like. When you see the word infer, think "educated guess."

    Imply and infer are opposites, like a throw and a catch. To imply is to hint at  something, but to infer is to make an educated guess. The speaker does  the implying, and the listener does  the inferring.
To imply is to suggest  something indirectly. If you hand your friend a stack of napkins during dinner,  you imply that she needs them. Things can imply, too, like a  chimney that implies a fireplace. Check out these examples:

By their very definition, flea markets imply cheap prices for used and unwanted items, as is still the case in most other  places. (New York Times)
  
    Stern also implied the entire season might be  at risk. (Seattle Times)
  
    It isn't fair to imply that cardiovascular disease  is going away. (Nature)

Infer is on the receiving end of imply, yet infer is often used to mean imply. To infer is to gather, deduce, or figure out.Writers tend to know how to use infer correctly:

He talks about having led in the private sector but  voters have to infer too much about what that means. (Slate)
  
    They were also better at inferring feelings  from images of just the eyes. (Scientific  American)
  
    Yet  it must not be inferred that farming women are without mental ability or  common sense. (Sidney Lewis Gulick)

Like baseball? Theodore Bernstein, in his classic The Careful  Writer, gives us a way to keep imply and infer straight:  "The implier is the pitcher; the inferrer is the  catcher."
