Oops, intruding way too much in Burro's account talk; apologies. Just thought Professor Corey's video was amusing (in relation to the ark comments). Apparently it wasn't by some. Over & out.

i am getting a little frustrated with this gentleman retraining program, once again today's lesson is too long to fit into the signature line so i will add the rest here:
(in signature): "once a gentleman discovers that he must decline an invitation that he has already accepted, he promptly alerts his host or hostess."
(out signature): "he gives frank a description of the reasons for his change of plans and offers a sincere apology."
who the hell is frank? and why always the couching 'he or she' informs the 'host or hostess' of 'his or her' change of plans. wtf? why not just say "i can't make it, dude." the genderly-correct and politically-correct wishy washing is driving me nuts!
also, i'm sure somewhere in this damn book is advice that says 'a gentleman speaks succinctly and does not use superfluous verbiage', but this guy drones on and on and half of the tidbits of wisdom exceed the 200 character signature line limit.
and also, just a few days ago it said a gentleman never apologizes, but today the advice is to apologize? make up your mind, dude.
well this gentleman has some green advice for the gentleman who wrote this book (probably with his wife leaning over his shoulder correcting every sentence and thought): you could've saved a tree by not printing this book and just summed it all up in one direct sentence on a business card, something like "c'mere, hold still while i cut our balls off."
and yes, i recognize there is a reason i'm single, but at least i still got my balls.
have a good day, sirs and madams.
Perhaps it is a typo. "He gives a frank description of his reasons ......"
The word frank meaning honest and direct. If the word frank isn't capitalized then it is a slight typographic error in my opinion.

Yes, I agree..you are a perfect gentleman...ok, yes, that makes more sense 'a frank description'. thanks frank.
still, i think a gentleman, if he or she is to write a book or bookette, should proof read the damn thing first!

Perhaps this will clear things up for you:
According to Macmillan Dictionary,excuse me is used fo:
1- politely getting someone's attention
2- showing you are sorry for interrupting someone
3-asking someone to move so that you can get past them
4-politely telling someone you are leaving
Sorry is used for :
1-emphasizing how bad,stupid,or embarrassing something is
2-feeling sadness or sympathy because something bad has happened to them
3-disappointed about a situation,and wishing you could change it
