In English, a bit over 1 is plural whereas in French, under 2 is a singular.

Would have bet
Handkerchief becomes rare nowadays. People rather say "hankie" (I don't know about the spelling but the pronunciation is that )
Nowadays, people rather use "paper handkerchiefs" but they rather call them "tissues"; however, "tissue paper" correspond to the French "papier de soie".
"Pocket handkerchief" is the French "pochette".

Difference Between Successful vs Unsuccessful People
FLUENTLAND.COM
Juts wondering why the symbol used on the "successful" side is a lady, and a man symbolizing the "unsuccessful" one...
Would it be biased??

To ooze forth.
v.tr.
1. To discharge or emit (a liquid or gas, for example) gradually.
2. To exhibit in abundance: a face that exuded self-satisfaction.

I frown when I see such a list of synonyms... I'm skeptical as for me -as you know-, there are never/no true synonyms
For me, the list you gave provides words of a similar domain but not synonyms.
There are differences between them all.
In French "inférer" is the opposite of "déduire" and it's similar (for once) in English: to infer is in the direction of the source, the origin while to deduce, to conclude, to imply are in the direction of the consequences.
