Do Men and Women Say Sorry or Apologize Too Much . . . or Not Enough?

Everyone knows that Canadians say “sorry” (or ‘SOAR-ee’) way too much . . . just in normal conversation . . . but what about Americans?

A poll asked people if men and women tend to say “sorry” or apologize in everyday conversations too often, or not often enough.

45% think MEN don’t say sorry enough.  15% say they apologize too much . . . and 18% say they say sorry “about the right amount.”

20% think WOMEN don’t say sorry enough, while 40% say they apologize too much . . . and 21% say they say sorry “about the right amount.”

That said, when you break the responses down by gender, BOTH men and women think THEY say sorry too much . . . and the OTHER gender doesn’t apologize enough.
