I sympathize with the OP on all he says, but what does he mean by this, aren't these expressions synonymous, the only difference being the tone?: > although saying “my bad” when you mean “my mistake” comes close ...and going further on the linguistic ambiguity route, most people saying "can't do" actually mean simply "I hate it / I'm not good at it, and because it's so much effort for met o do it I'd rather not have to do it"... and the only bad thing in it is the uberannoying implied "I don't want to learn it, don't try and teach it to me"...
