I was told that you should blow the steam above the bowl so it clears up and make way for more steam to rise. You’re not directly making the food colder, but it helps.
Tempering ice cream is totally a thing and recommended for proper flavor and texture. You should let it sit for 5-10 minutes before consuming, so like too hot food, you can also blow on your too cold ice cream to warm it up!
That’s an invalid conclusion. Blowing on ice cream works too, though maybe to a lesser extent. You’re still hitting an object of extreme temperature with a barrage of medium-temperature air particles. Heat would still transfer in this scenario, albeit in the opposite direction (heat would transfer from the blown air to the ice cream).
Wait till you hear about the two different uses of the word “literally”.
"literally" doesn't mean "figuratively" either. Showing another mistake is not proving any point you think it is.
Language evolves.
And individuals which are eaten do not contribute to future evolution.
I view it has by duty to stop the reproduction of errors around "begs the question" and so long as I am around to fight it "begs the question" is not a synonym for "raises" or "prompts" the question.
You're damn right it evolves and I am an evolutionary pressure.
You think mighty highly of yourself. No single individual is an evolutionary pressure, unless you actively kill people for using phrases wrong or something.
So rather than defending what you purport to be a valid use you're just going to attempt to leverage social rejection by implying no one else holds the same opinion I do?
That supposed to make me feel bad and lead to my changing my position?
It won't.
Every single person on the planet save me could have to opposite view I dol that would just mean everyone else but me is wrong.
Until either I acquiesce to "beg" meaning "raise" or I die "beg" as in "prompt" will remain an incorrect usage because there will be someone holding the line saying "This far and no farther."
Since you don't appear interested in arguing FOR the meaning you claim the phrase should (and does not) have, I hope you're prepared to kill me.
The rhetorical equivalent of pointing and laughing won't get you what you want.
Begging the question means something. It does not mean something else.
