Hey there. I noticed you typed the word "sorry" in a recent message.

Reasons to say "Sorry":

1. feeling distress, especially through sympathy with someone else's misfortune.

2. feeling regret or penitence.

Perhaps you meant to say 'sorry'. Or perhaps you meant to say something else (like "Thank you" or "Whoops" or "Okay") or skip the word entirely?

Here are some links you can view for alternatives if you're one of the people who says "sorry" excessively, or when another word would be better.
