Begs the question (now with dinosaurs!)

If you're into absurd comics about dinosaurs and language, you'll enjoy this.




My feelings on begs the question are known. I don't like it. However, I'm at a point where its "misuse" no longer makes me cringe; it's just so universal. Who can cringe that often? It hurts my shoulders.

I still change it in copy, though.

I just watched Beauty and the Geek on Tivo. I suspect the guy who drew that nerd-tastic comic must be one of the contestants. (But, of course, that begs the question: will he be an erstwhile contestant after next week's elimination?)

This blog is very nicely done, it enhances children to think of what dinosaurs were like, when they were on earth.
