I do have a word question having to do with a point on the website though....
They say that petitio principii was translated into English in the 16th century as "beg the question" and that today we understand "beg" to mean "ask", thus the whole confusion.
What exactly did "beg" mean in the 16th century?

Hi Jackie. My Chicago trip was a very quick in-and-out this year. I flew in on the Monday morning and flew out Tuesday at noon. Didn't get to see anybody.
