    An apology does have to say sorry or it’s just an explanation. If they aren’t sorry, they’re not apologising, they’re just telling you what happened in a way that takes 0 responsibility.

    I know all I need to about you from this one simple statement and now realise you’ll be too pig headed to approach this in any way other than antagonistically in a desperate attempt to browbeat the other person into submission. Because for you, it’s not about reaching consensus, it’s about your own ego.

    You do you bro, I don’t care enough about anyone in this debate to bother responding anymore. Peace.

      No that can be an apology, it however isn’t the only way to apologize.

      You know dictionaries? Try one.

      something that is said or written to defend something that other people criticize

        I wonder how long you had to scroll to find that one. Taking an overly literal definition instead of understanding the context and spirit of what an apology is: the last bastion of the guy who cares more about winning than being right.

          It’s the second definition online for me so exactly one.

          The spirit of apology is not saying sorry dude. You don’t need it anyway and she didn’t ask for it. You’re the weird demanding one.

            Which means you intentionally scrolled past the most common definition which requires you to be sorry because it proved you wrong.

            The spirit of apology is not saying sorry dude.

            Good luck being single the rest of your life lol

              No I used my preferred dictionary not the one paid for by a company to be at the top.

              Good luck being single the rest of your life lol

              Projection much? Legit that’s the most disgruntled single person shit I’ve ever heard. You want to hit some other incel talking points while you’re at it?

                Urban dictionary? You skipped the first definition because it included the word sorry and made you look like a moron.

                Projection much?

                Nah, been happily married 10 years, ya incel. Sounds like I hit a nerve.

                  It’s Webster’s you absolute bafoon.

                  Nah, been happily married 10 years, ya incel. Sounds like I hit a nerve.

                  Either you’re trying to fuck me or you have personal relationship issues so if you aren’t single I fear for your partner of nothing else but for your stupidity and ego.

                    🤡

                    https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/apology

                    1. a : an admission of error or discourtesy accompanied by an expression of regret (see: being sorry, ya incel)

                    You picked the second definition on Webster’s because the first one made you look like a clown. The second one is even marked “excuse” because it’s being used in the literary sense and not in the sense of apologising to someone.

                    Fucking lol
