I'm not usually one to raise points of grammar, spelling, or semantics, but since it's come up twice on the same thread on the same day, I think it's worth pointing out that "begging the question" does NOT mean "raising the question" but means "assuming the answer in the question" <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Begging_the_question> I trip up on it every time it occurs, as it appears to be pointing out poor debate practice.
