So you want to implicate me in this?

Imply 1. to involve as a necessary circumstance: speech implies a speaker. 2. (of words) to signify or mean. 3. to indicate or suggest, as something naturally to be inferred, without express statement.

Then I wonder why native English speaking people(I guess) say that it is used wrong in the question:

209.131.36.158

What does this code imply?

Answer: Yahoo

Is this a wrong usage? I would say definition 3 is correct, or do I not understand? Or is that not a normal use?

Yes I would say that the numeric sequence does imply Yahoo, because if you recognize that is an internet address, and enter it; you do arrive at the Yahoo site.
