Words Almost Extinct
Some words are heard so rarely that it seems they may be in danger of extinction. When did we last hear a leader of any description say?… “I’m sorry.” “I was wrong.” “I made a poor choice which I take ownership for, and regret.” “I apologize, I had no idea…” When did we last witness…
