re: #6 SanFranciscoZionist
See? Yesterday I was posting that I read an ad for AP BIOLOGY INSTRUCTOR as APOLOGY INSTRUCTOR. There is a need for such a thing.
Begin with: “I’m sorry your feelings are hurt” isn’t an apology if that’s all that’s in the apology.
It means “I acknowledge you’re mad at me, but I can’t think of anything I did wrong.”
It’s okay if it’s attached to “I’m sorry that I got drunk and made a pass at your sister. I’m sorry that I emptied our bank account to turn my Corolla into the Batmobile. I’m sorry that I ate your chocolate stash. I’m sorry that I unleashed a pair of rabid Tasmanian devils on your bunco party.”
