Don't worry about Mr Pedant's strictures too much, Musket. Amusing to think that a chap who doesn't know "affect" from "effect" could be so brazen. You'd have thought that a period of linguistic silence from him might have been in order, but at least he's amusing. I mean, what twisted thinking does it take to try to explain "begging the question" by translating the expression into Latin?


You don't think he's just a show-off, do you...? :-)
