Assumption versus Presumption
📕presumption(You believe something or act it in a way without proof. It could be related to legal system.)
Ex: She acted under the presumption that her rent wasn't going to increase this year.
Ex: He made a lot of presumptions about the job that weren't even remotely ture.
📕assumption(less formal, it doesn't necessarily have the same negative intonation as "presumption", more common, everyday life. )
Ex: I made an assumption that the schedule wouldn be full. I should have called you first.
Ex: I made an assumption was that her fight was going to arrive late.
👏👏👏For here, "presumption" wouldn't be usually used.
Ex:I'm working under the assumption that we'll have met our goals by the end of the month.
👀presumption: more formal, a little less common, a little bit more arrogant, negative and entitled.
👀assumption: more frequently, more everyday and it doesn't necessarily have the negative intonation, but it could be that way depand on the context.

💋Role Play:
A: I presumed you will je on time this time.
B: Yeah, of course!
A: Thanks!
B: Will you be staying late?
A: Well, I was under the assumption that we would be out by 8.
