The thing is, "jeepers", "ain't got nothin'" or "far out" are correct in ways that wrong usage of "begging the question" aren't. They're not based on a misunderstanding or anything. Jeepers is a way of avoiding saying Jesus, far out is just a shortening of something like far out of the ordinary, rad is an abbreviation of radical. None of these are criticized as words or phrases being used incorrectly. In the English speaking culture it's not uncommon for "begging the question" to be called out when it should be "raising the question". Until those voices completely stop it's questionable usage. It carries a blemish, unlike usage that is free of criticism. That's a descriptive stance. If I stand outside the English speaking culture and observe it, I see that certain malapropisms and whatnot are criticized by a good many of its members. They are native speakers and their opinions are data points that cannot be disregarded.
