Question "To insinuate" vs "to imply"
Can someone tell me the difference between two verbs: "to insinuate" vs "to imply": difference in their meaning, application, contextual use. Can someone also give me examples in which it would be appropriate to use the verbs, and example in which the verbs would be used by mistake ("to imply" in cases where "to insinuate" should have been used and vice versa).
Thank you in advance.
