The English-speaking community will use “beg the question” in whatever way suits it best. Language is democratic. How many of us any longer use the word “presently” to mean “right now” rather than “soon” or “in a minute or so”? Language rolls on regardless and campaigns have no effect, I’m afraid.

In the present case, if the majority choose to use “beg the question” to mean “raise the question” or something else, the term will still be available to philosophers and logicians to use it in its technical sense. They will still know what they’re talking about.

Don’t mind at all! I welcome any seconds of quasi-fame.

I’ve just stumbled across this blog, from Hissy Cat’s, and I love it. Great idea.

And I’ve quoted you, if you’d prefer I didn’t let me know and I’ll hit delete.

This is the same Andrew Sullivan who massaged his own ass during the entire credit roll of a network syndicated show: http://www.dvorak.org/blog/index.php?p=700
