When this discussion started, I looked the various words up in the dictionary, as I typically do. This is the definition of "duty" that I had in mind coming into it, and I said that I considered "duty" more serious than an apology. <<2 a : obligatory tasks, conduct, service, or functions that arise from one's position (as in life or in a group) b (1) : assigned service or business (2) : active military service (3) : a period of being on duty>> My association with that word is mostly a function of my civil service career and my husband's military career. Even the definition that seemed closest to what Neo was describing... <<3 a : a moral or legal obligation b : the force of moral obligation>> ...seemed more serious than an apology. When I think of duty, I think of professional responsibilities, public health concerns, not apologies.
