Let's officially dump the original meaning of "beg the question" because it's a poor translation from Latin.

Let's officially dump the original meaning of "beg the question" because it's a poor translation from Latin.
- Simon_says 9y agoAgreed. While we're at it, can we also drop the meaning of "raise the question"? That one is a mistranslation of English ...
- fish_fan 9y agoThat does make sense; but the new version is a strictly inferior form of "raises the question".
