[/pet peeve]

begging the question also has a mordern/secondary defination as well:

Modern usage

Many English speakers use beg the question to mean "bear the question", "raise the question", "evade the question", or even "ignore the question", and follow that phrase with the question, for example: "I weigh 120 kg and have severely clogged arteries, which begs the question: why have I not started exercising?" In philosophical, logical, grammatical, and legal contexts, some commenters believe that such usage is mistaken, or at best, unclear.[1][25][26][27]

Bigger pet peeve: Correcting someone when you yourself are ill informed to make such a correction.

How does anything you posted justify your claim that I'm ill-informed?

How do you tell a broom pusher that he is not worth the same money as the man at the top?
I would imagine you say it with your tone of voice, your demeanour and your self-righteous attitude, Drich. :-)

Drich can't even see the broom pushers from way up there on his high horse.
