That's called "inference". Where the reader infers meaning from the writer's words that aren't explicitly written.SandmanEric Stevens
An implication can never be unintended. You can infer what you THOUGHT was an implication, but only the speaker/writer can know if it actually was an implication.
Not so. The reader gathers the implication from the words. He can have no knowledge of what the writer actually had in mind when he wrote them.
