I thought I was the sole remaining proponent of the proper use of "begs the question." Alas, the colloquial usage has already metastasized and entered at least one dictionary: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/beg%20the%20question The above-linked definitions poorly describe the original meaning as well. The drop-e words have also metastasized. The "phony, pricy, lacy" of my yout are now "phoney", "pricey", and "lacey". (And, no, I never liked punctuation in the sentence unles it's a sentence being quoted.) Howl, ye prescriptivists, howl. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! Colloquial usage is highly overrated. -- Remember: Every silver lining has a cloud. ---- |
