It raises the question. “Begging the question” means to argue for a conclusion by assuming the conclusion in the arguments being made.

Thank you! Thanks to you, I’ve learned a grammar thing on WFTD even on the rare day when I knew the day’s word....

I’m not hurt. They’re having godparents read, cousins bringing up the gifts. No role for aunt by marriage.

Thank you for accepting it in the spirit I intended!

It’s a common misuse that bugs the hell out of people who know logic.

Had I thought otherwise, I would have never mentioned. Sometimes you do do the whole mature ‘tude thing reasonably well ;)

Wedding will be a bit of a tearjerker. Bride’s mom, xshub’s sister, died about 12 yrs ago, of breast cancer. Bride had her mom’s wedding dress made into a cocktail style dress for the rehearsal/dinner.
