So rather than defending what you purport to be a valid use you’re just going to attempt to leverage social rejection by implying no one else holds the same opinion I do?
That supposed to make me feel bad and lead to my changing my position?
It won’t.
Every single person on the planet save me could have to opposite view I dol that would just mean everyone else but me is wrong.
Until either I acquiesce to “beg” meaning “raise” or I die “beg” as in “prompt” will remain an incorrect usage because there will be someone holding the line saying “This far and no farther.”
Since you don’t appear interested in arguing FOR the meaning you claim the phrase should (and does not) have, I hope you’re prepared to kill me.
The rhetorical equivalent of pointing and laughing won’t get you what you want.
Begging the question means something. It does not mean something else.
Imagine being prescriptivist in the year 2024
“Imagine”?
Yes.

You’re very defensive of your willing hostility.
Is “you’re defensive” suppose to influence me like “imagine” was?
The motivations you construct for me are yours alone.
