You know what I hate?  I hate people who qualify their apologies with “if it offended anyone.”  Is there some doubt?  You’re apologizing just in case your words (or actions) offended someone?  No, you’re apologizing for a reason.  There’s no need for if; you definitely offended someone.  Most likely, you offended a whole lot of someones or you wouldn’t be updating your web site, tweeting “my bad if I off ended u” or holding a press conference to make a public act of contrition.  So, just say it.  I’m sorry.  I know I offended many and I deeply and sincerely regret the hurtful things I said.
  Is that so hard?
Apparently, it is.
