It isn't an apology if someone reading it can't even figure out what he's apologizing for, or in fact if he's actually apologizing, or merely saying "I should apologize" and considering it done.
Hell, for all we know this isn't even referencing the original article -- maybe he screwed up in more than one douchey, sexist way today and this apology is for one of the others. :)
- sp332 13y agoAre we looking at the same page? Mine says, in BOLD print, I also would like to offer my Humble apologies when we get it wrong, today I got it wrong. I'm not sure how you could construe this to not be an apology.
- hamburglar 13y agoWhat's "it"? He's very carefully not saying what he "got wrong." It also reads like someone trying hard not to just flat out say "I apologize." You've got two sentiments: 1) "if we get it wrong I would offer an apology" and 2) "we got it wrong", neither of which are an apology, but together imply an apology without actually saying it. Why? All it serves to do is make your apology seem not very ... apologetic. It's the "mistakes were made" approach.
