That was an interesting piece. <<Tricky use of the language can make a statement sound like an apology when it isn't, said Aaron Lazare, a psychiatrist and dean of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. His book, On Apology, will be published this fall. The word "sorry" can mean: "I did it and I apologize." Or it can mean: "I feel your pain, but I take no responsibility.">> One of my pet peeves is when someone says his dog died and I was "I'm sorry" and then he says "Why are you sorry-it wasn't your fault."
