Why do people say 'I apologize' instead of 'I'm sorry'?
- Recently, a reader asked why people sometimes say 'I apologize' instead of 'I'm sorry'. She thinks the former is less sincere than the latter.
- Many readers shared their thoughts on this subject, emphasizing that 'I apologize' can be a more formal or professional way of expressing remorse.
- 'I apologize' may also imply a sense of taking responsibility for one's actions, while 'I'm sorry' may be used more casually in everyday situations.

Dear Readers: Recently, I printed a letter from "Paulie," who wonders why people sometimes say "I apologize" instead of "I'm sorry." She thinks the former is less sincere than the latter. I told her that I was sure I'd hear from a lot of readers on this subject, and hear I did. hear I didはI did hearの強調でしょうか？よろしくお願いします

Researchers compared the brains of recently deceased people who had schizophrenia with those of recently deceased people who did not have schizophrenia. They found that 35 percent of the former and none of the latter showed evidence of damage to a structure of nerve cells called the subplate. They knew that this damage must have occurred prior to the second fetal trimester, when the subplate controls the development of the connections between the different parts of the brain. という文において、 There may be a cause of schizophrenia that predates birth.という事が言えるそうですがなぜそうなるのか理解できません。 また、 Some people developed schizophrenia because of damage to the brain subplate after the second fatal trimester.が言えないのはなぜでしょうか？

ちょっとお伺いしたいのですが、以下の英語はちゃんとした英語でしょうか？（英語はぜんぜんダメです） I apologize, I don't speak or read Japanese. But, does anyone know the name of this girl? She did a photo spread with A（人名）. I apologize, I don't speak or write Japanese. If anyone knows the name of this girl, I would appreciate it. She did some pictures with A. なんかorの使い方がおかしい気がしますが、ほんとにわからない人でしょうか？ 日本人が書いた英語のような気がします。ご意見を・・。

I use an electronic dictionary at school. But my teacher says I should use printed dictionaries. Why do you think? I don't understand why your teacher said so. Electronic dictionaries are lighter and easier to carry. You can even hear English words. I agree with Bird. Finding words in printed dictionaries takes time. I think using printed dictionaries is a waste of time.
