I don't get why people defend incorrect language usage but wouldn't defend terrible misspellings, like "definitely" as "defiantly". They're both equally "wrong" but one is acceptable and one isn't.

I agree that language is an evolution and there is no "wrong", but that doesn't stop people from looking stupid by trying write intelligently and falling on their faces.

We need something to mean what "begs the question" used to mean, then, because it's an important concept to be aware of.

Or they could be less confusing with their writing, use "raises the question" like they intended to, and not look stupid in the process.
