"Implicit" vs. "inherent" - do you know the difference?
-
I mean the difference between the meaning of those two words. Without googling, of course, but if you're feeling chatty, you can (after writing what you think) also include the second part - your thoughts after finding out the official definitions.
Why: because I just found out and understood (i think) today, and it was surprising. And I'm curious if and how many people know and their reactions if they didn't know and now they find out.
-
Implicit: A property/behaviour assumed to exist
Inherent: A property/behaviour derived from ancestry or environment
-
From your name, I'm going to blithely assume you're not a native English speaker?
Because I think the answer from most people is going to be "of course, duh."
-
Inherent: A property/behaviour derived from ancestry or environment
That's not what it means.
It's a property of something which is permanent and existing.
Sky diving, for example, is inherently dangerous.
-
I'd say a property which is "built-in", there by definition, automatically present, inseparable...
Verses implicit, which just means "present without being explicitly stated to be present", or "assumed to be present". It pretty much just comments on whether something has been outright stated to exist or not. Compare to "implied" and "tacit".

That does get the point across better.
or "assumed to be present"
or suggested to be present.

The detective was implicitly pointing out the man's inherit complicity in the crime.

The difference is the middle six letters.
-
Implicit is the opposite of explicit, exherent isn't a word.
-
We do have intrinsic / extrinsic, though. http://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Property
-
But, if "exherent" was a word, it would contain no instances of the letter i, whereas in contrast 'implicit' contains none of e.
-
The word
cat
contains no instances of i or e.

Which is a consequence of environmentYour definition is technically more correct though

You censor that shit! Some of us find that offensive!

Indeed. It could hardly get more interesting…
-
Did you know that both "implicit" and "inherent" can be spelled with letters?
-
-
They're the same thing for all intensive purposes
-
London is explicitly filled with cunts.
-
What are you inferring?
-
A lot of things in this thread seem to be inherently implied.
-
Interesting.
-

AARGH.... it is "for all intents and purposes".....

I could care less. If you don't think it's a moat point your more pedantic then I thought

OK, that is a faire statement! (two can play the game)

No, still wrong..

I think that means you're a steam engine and @TheCPUWizard is underpowering you.
Heard a great one the other day that actually makes sufficient sense to be considered an eggcorn: pre-Madonna for primadonna.

No, I'm not, but it's irrelevant, because we have both of those words in my language too (implicitný / inherentný), and it's the same difference. I found out in my language, and knew both the words exist in english too, and realized (again) that majority of people of my nationality are douche fucktards so asking the question on our local community site resulted in me getting bashed for bragging what an intellectual I am (yes, the most common usage of the word "intellectual" in this retard banana republic I live in is as an insult), so I thought I'd ask somewhere where the chance of getting normal answers is higher.

Well when I was at school the worst insult possible from one pupil to another was 'keen', so...

And you chose here?

You never know when you might need that phrase.

The definition of "normal" is highly subjective, you know? The shit that goes on here is at least funny and I don't need to stick my head in a microwave for 2 minutes just to get the ability to pretend it makes sense.
(...the things that people think they can label "logic" just because they have no idea what the word means, not even talking about having any grasp of how or why the mysterious mechanism with that name should work...
But that's another topic already, had a ..."discussion" (it was exchanging words with something that claims is a person, so let's call it that) where the other side said something like "Wanna proof that god exists?There's plenty of proof, in the middle of any village." (she meant church buildings. and yes, she was serious. And she got offended when I basically called her a fucktard for that). What i'm trying to say is that TDWTF is often a place I go to when I want to enjoy some sanity after finding out some people really DO have a reason to not believe evolution, as they obviously got stuck on the level of bacteria.)

"Implicit" vs. "inherent" - do you know the difference?
Yes.

Did you know that intensive is actually a word? And that 'intensive purposes' actually means something? And that it's actually really similar to 'intents and purposes'?
Hint: intensive means 'vigorous' or 'thorough'.
In other words, if something is suitable for all intents and purposes, it is suitable for the intensive purposes. And if it is suitable for the intensive purposes, it is pretty darn likely to be suitable for all purposes, since the non-intensive purposes aren't going to be as demanding as the intensive purposes.

For all the above, the standard phrase is “for all intents and purposes”. The purposes might be intensive, extensive or whatever, but most people mean to use the idiomatic form. It's just unfortunate that a larger than usual fraction of people fail at this…

Fixed that for you.
