"Basic Rules: 1) Don't use a word in conversation that you don't know the meaning of; 2) When you are apologizing and use the words 'if' and 'but', you're not apologizing. You're trying to pacify the person (or people) you've wronged without admitting guilt.
Please parents, teach your children this lesson early to avoid them looking as stupid as this poor woman." Posted by karenm562 on 02/23/2015 at 11:03 AM
I'm sorry but part of apologizing is to pacify. When you dismiss an apology because it contains the word "if" or "but" you are looking for a reason to close your mind to sound judgement. If you are basing your judgement upon the idiocy you read on the internet instead of your true feelings you are doing yourself a great disservice. Trust your feelings. We are all very capable of acting as intelligent, respectable humans. Some choose not to act this way.
