[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Feb 21 2006, 07:46 AM']The expression that I find funny is, "I'm sorry you feel that way."

The non-appology appology....

I use that when I don't really want to apologize.

How about, I'm sorry you misunderstood what I was saying?

Very handy little phrase, that.

I actually used it on a reader recently.

"I'm sorry you're upset about what we wrote. But we were right."

I am SO happy someone brought that up! "No offense, but..." whether you're trying to make a good point or not (more often - not) is the worst way to start a sentence. And "I'm sorry you feel that way..." is code for "it's really your fault, not mine." It's funny that the person saying either phrase does so in an attempt to diffuse the situation!
