NewsMax reports that Trump has gained 11 votes and Biden has lost 1 after an election audit in MI.

"There was a concern that voting machines were dramatically flipping votes from Trump to Biden," according to NewsMax. 

But it turns out that the machines were not flipping votes quite as dramatically as people feared.

You should probably pause, and make up your mind if you're going to discuss semantic or logical implications. You seem to either have confused yourself again, or are trying to do both simultaneously. 🤣

You're not going to catch up by reading wikipedia. 

Maybe you have conversational implicature in mind, but I doubt you've read Grice, because if you had, you'd realize that it's not going to help you here.

This is funny.

I introduced the distinction above. I said the implication might be in the semantic content of what I wrote, to which you replied, "The semantic content isn't really relevant to there being an implication. The fact that you chose the term creates the implication in and of itself. That's how the definition works."

Now you're saying that I'm confusing logical implication with what you're embarrassingly calling "semantic implication," but what you really want to talk about is conversational implicature, which is different.

If you want, we can work through Grice's conversational maxims together.

Not gonna lie...it's tempting to just sit here and watch you continue twisting yourself into a pretzel over this. 

 

Again, sorry for calling out your derp and upsetting you. Have a great rest of your day.

Poster compares Trump supporters to Nazis, and then writes 10,000 words to say he was misunderstood.  An early Christmas gift.

That's not in dispute. 

What's in dispute is whether what I wrote implied that Trump supporters are Nazis. 

To compare x to y isn't to imply that x is y. 

Merry Christmas.
