There is such a thing as colloquial language - and "beg the question" in colloquial register has much the same meaning as "raise the question". At least it does where I'm from, and that's the meaning in which I meant it. All this should be evident from the context of my post. None of this is particularly relevant to the discussion at hand, so let's move on.

Oh, okay
![]() To be honest though, at least where I'm from, it's used in rather polite discourse to mean something essentially *raises* the question. Go figure... |

*graciously accepts your surrender*
![]() Well, now that we've settled that– How theoretical are you being here? It doesn't seem likely that anyone will be making a film version of CoH in the next few decades (and goodness knows what cinema will have mutated into by the time it finally goes out of copyright).

But, Nerwen, surely you meant "literary"?
