*raises the question
- g4zj 2y agoOff-topic, so I hope not to spark too much side discussion here. While I agree with your correction and this always bugs me, the common usage of the phrase "begs the question" seems to have become synonymous with "raises the question", as opposed to what I understand to be its former — and perhaps original — meaning which was associated with the informal logical fallacy by the same name.
