Obviously English isn't your first language.  When someone says "I'm sorry," or "I apologize,"  They mean that they regret their previous action, and are admitting it both to themselves and to the people to whom they mistreated.  I don't see anywhere in his apology an excuse.  It's all apologizing for things he did, feeling remorse, asking us for forgiveness.  In some senses, apologies can include an excuse, as is such in the dictionary example you have so kindly given, however, this is not always the case.  If PPNL had said ''I'm sorry, but I was stoned as fuck," That would have been an excuse.

While I agree with you that there's a difference between apologizing and excuses, by the definition of excuse, it is safe to say that PPNL gave his excuses. Also, if you look at the definition of the word excuse, you will see that I am right : http://ardictionary.com/Excuse/6128

The definitions number 1, 5 and the 6th proves he was making excuses : (definition number 1): "To free from accusation, or the imputation of fault or blame; to clear from guilt; to release from a charge; to justify by extenuating a fault; to exculpate; to absolve; to acquit. "

If you still don't believe me, go read the definition of absolve and acquit atleast. I'm not saying he wasn't apologizing, I'm saying there was excuses into this. And you can't say there was only apologizing, because the definition number 6 of excuse is : "The act of excusing, apologizing, exculpating, pardoning, releasing, and the like; acquittal; release; absolution; justification; extenuation. "

Maybe the word "excuse" has a larger sense that you thought.

It certainly seems that it has a less negative connotation than you thought, too.

Dude, you just spend at least 10 minutes + few searches to prove something that nobody gives a fuck about. You could spend this time with your beloved girl/granger/hand. http://www.myfacewhen.com/323/

@plague: If you thought I was being negative on something, let me assure you that it wasn't on the pure sense of the word "excuse". That would make no sense. Once again, Plague Bringer strikes at the wind.

@Asvarox, I'm mostly doing this in an effort to correct my English, but I tend to verify things, or else people can pretend they know better than me and point me at the wrong direction to go*.

*Doesn't this situation reminds you of something?

Indeed, especially since he changed his fuck the world attitude to become a conformist and act like he was told, right after his reputation got ruined and his admin removed. His story just proves he can't be solid on his position.

Oh wait! Were you being sarcastic? I wouldn't be surprised, in the modern world, most faggots (most of them are called men) don't accord any importance to their actions nor to their positions, conformism is a much more comfortable (notice how conformism and comfortable are spelt similarly?) position than having to assume their ways.

correct my English
Doesn't this situation reminds
no you isn't
yes I is
