I really wish people would learn the difference between begging the question and raising the question.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

Colloquially, the phrase beg the question also has a separate sense as a synonym for "raise the question" or "prompt the question".

Well there it is.

That said, I’m glad you shared this as I hadn’t ever thought of it before.

In a day and age where the people are growing a part from they're own language, your asking alot of them. I guess it literally doesn't effect them much...

You forgot *affect 😉

Also "literally" was meant as a double entendre, since we're speaking about words and that term is so often abused.

I’m not trying to be rude, but it’s “day in age,” not “day and age,” what would that even mean, lol

shhh

This is a joke

That’s what the spoiler is for. Note that I corrected one of the few correct things about that comment

I inherited this pet peeve from someone else and at the same time, developed the pet peeve of inheriting other people's pet peeves.

A mistranslation from Latin versus the plain meaning that's also what everyone intends and infers. Wow. What a dilemma.
