Think about it a little longer than. Let me guess... You're one of those intellectuals who argues with modern vernacular.carnivorous chicken said:First time seeing this incorrectly used in the original Latin!
You should read to understand instead of to respond. I was not using modern vernacular. I was using Aristotle's latin term. You have just shown me that you are someone who argues with modern vernacular, essentially proving the point further. My reference to modern vernacular has nothing to do with radio hosts or whatever reference you make, but instead to every modern dictionary. Take a look at Collins dictionary. They have adapted the meaning. And yes, I was a joking, something you prove over and over again around here that you are incapable of. You do well to be the butt of one.carnivorous chicken said:Do you really want to argue that using Latin is “modern vernacular,” and that I’m trying to be elitist when you’re misusing Latin? I get that some people who don’t really speak Latin think that it sounds smart to use Latin (exempli gratia: id est for “that is”), but misusing it kinda works in the opposite way. But when the original Latin has been mistranslated (to “beg the question” from “assuming the initial point”) that’s the first error, and the second is that “to beg the question” doesn’t mean “to raise the question” no matter how many radio hosts or whoever uses it.
“Dialectic argument”? There’s no dialectic argument going on. What are the two sides? You’re kind of digging the hole deeper.
Something like “Where are you?” would have worked, although the OP did get your point.
I’m just going to assume this is a joke.
