It begs the question: is it just me?

[David Donnell]

Whenever I hear someone use the phrase "begs the question" followed
by a question, I instantly assume the speaker never took a class in
logic...

Someone tell me I'm wrong.

Not being clever--don't mean to proscribe such usage--just curious if
anyone (or how many) who studied logical fallacies ever uses the
phrase in the 'non-logic' sense.
