SerENity, I'm so sorry! This is a real sorry, just to clarify!
I think there's another blogger with that name too. I confuse easily. I'm rubbish and very sorry! You got in their first with your forgiveness, so thanks!
Back to the Elton thing: maybe we need to change the word 'sorry' instead.
Haha, Serendipity! I'm at least a little bit sorry! Especially for that apostrophe! Some strict, Victorian, chalk waving disciplinarian teacher type was turning in his grave just then!
I don't think it's a case of inventing new words, maybe more a matter of brining some back from the (almost dead) like "pardon" when you don't hear something, or "excuse me" to get someone's attention.
That way we might restore the potency of sorry instead of telling St. Peter :
"Sorry to bother you, mate. Sorry, could you repeat that? Oh, and I'm also sorry for my sins!"
Yeah, you're right, Ed. I think that's the thinking behind it. It's a little curious though. In most languages, there are two or even three words, I believe.
In Spanish you have 'perdon', 'disculpeme' and 'lo siento'. I think it's a bit more expressive.
I don't want to hijack the thread, but I heard it's also national Vegetarian day today AND national something else day... but I forgot what exactly it was!
Anyway, like I said... happy China day and good luck!
