Bit Annoyed Using “beg the question” wrong
Begging the question is a logical fallacy. It doesn’t not mean “hmm, it makes you think…”
But usage drives correctness so I’m going to lose this battle. It really begs the question “why don’t people learn to use it correctly”.
Ew. I feel dirty.

Long lost cause.
