In the interests of tightening up loose talk, we could say that saying "I'm sorry!" is not apologizing: saying "I'm sorry!" is saying "I'm sorry!". Apologizing on the other hand, is a linguistic act. So apologizing is saying "I apologize!". Speak both of them for yourself until the difference between "I'm sorry!" and "I apologize!" becomes clear. With that now distinguished, I use the two interchangeably in this conversation. <un-aside> |
