This begs the question: Is the correct usage of "begging the question" dead?

[quote=ka jowct]The Joey character in "Friends" once used the phrase "It's a moo question." When asked it, he said " It's like a cow's opinion. Nobody cares."

That makes me laugh every time.

No one seems to be able to manage correct subjunctives anymore, either. Instead of saying "If I had known, I would have...", you hear "If I would have known, I would have..." which is nonsense.

What I hear is ""If I would of known, I would of..."
Yes. I was being too kind. People also seem to have no idea of when to say "me" and when to say "I" (or whatever personal pronoun). No concept of subject and object.
Not to mention: misuse of the reflexive "myself" as a nominative or using "me" when the reflexive is called for.
