* It depends on the severity of the reason the person is apologizing and if you feel you don't want to accept their apology or don't feel they are sincere about don't be afraid to tell them so. If you decide to accept their apology then say, 'Thank, I appreciate that and I hope we can move on now.'
sincerely
No it definitely does not, unless they state they are remorseful or acknowledge that they did something that was wrong or in some way hurt or offended you. And only you will know if this apology is heartfelt. Good luck!
By way of apology.
No it is not. It is a mean way to apologize.
Telling a person thank you after they have given you a gift is an example of showing gratitude and expressing appreciation for their gesture. It is a polite and respectful way to acknowledge their kindness and thoughtfulness.
Says the important that you want to say
It is. It requires an object. Although, I suppose a better way to state it would be "giving an apology to someone." Apologize is technically trivalent. It requires a subject, namely, someone doing the giving. It always requires an object, namely, the apology being given. (although it is not specifically mentioned in the verb "to apologize," it is still an object.) Finally, it requires an indirect object, a "goal," if you will, namely, the person to whom you are giving the apology. In the verb "to apologize," the specific object (the apology) is included IN the verb. Thus one only sees the subject and the indirect object in the verb "to apologize."
Ooh someone is desperate!
You have to be polite because the person in question is asking for forgiveness and will be hurt if you respond with a nasty retort. The most natural way is to say "That's alright, apology accepted," but don't sound awkward because people think you don't mean to accept the apology. Hope that helps! :D
Pertaining to driving and rules of the road: No, you should NOT always accept the right of way in any given situation. Even if you have the right of way at an intersection, you shouldn't assume that the other drivers will honor right-of-way procedures. Aggressive and incompetent drivers may not acknowledge right-of-way, and could cause an accident. Instead, you should proceed with caution, and assume right of way after analyzing the situation.
The most effective way to send an apology depends on the type of person who was offended. Some people need compensation when they are wronged. When the offended person has been betrayed by a close friend or relationship partner, often an apology should contain a show of empathy. If a rule or law has been broken, acknowledgement is a good suggestion.
Sometimes, authors can choose to include an acknowledgements section, thanking those who have, in any way, helped with the creation of the book. Another way an author can acknowledge and give thanks to someone is through the book's dedication.
