Another one is begs for question for raises the question instead of its

Especially since I use "begging off" as well, so I know that particular
meaning of "beg." As in, "I'm going to beg off on taking the garbage out,
dear. Could you?"

People get confused when I use "begs the question" properly, though for a
while I did say, "That begs the question that you know what 'begs the
question' means."

I also make liberal use of the word "scarpered" so I'm very perplexing to
my fellow Americans. Even my usage of the word "liberal" in that sentence
is enough to make an American's head explode, come to think of it.
