Petitio principii.

... [BIG skip ... I realize this is going to result in tons more Latin, however, I HATE THE LATIN. I find it arrogant, condescending, obscuring, obsfucating, haughty, cheeky and elitist. English has the largest vocabulary in all of history and plenty words to use to get the most complex or nuanced idea across.

Well I would have said, "begging the question" but in recent years the idiots in the media who wouldn't recognize a coherent argument if they found it in their soup have taken to using that phrase incorrectly. Petitio principii is the only breif way I know of to say, "You are ssuming what you seek to prove."

How can a language be
arrogant, condescending, obscuring, obsfucating, haughty, cheeky and elitist?
