I hate the word "APOLOGY"

[Obi2Kenobi]

"Apology" has 2 signifigant meanings and essentially they are opposites.

- An acknowledgment expressing regret or asking pardon for a fault or offense.

- A justification or defense or explanation or excuse.
Really we should be able to do better as a society. 
We need a system to re-evaluate words and fix the most absurd definitions. We should denote for all time one of the meanings as being archaic. This of course isnt the only case where some work is needed; its just the one irking me tonight.

You think that's bad? Try the word fearsome.

1. Causing or capable of causing fear: “The Devil is a fearsome enemy” (Jimmy Breslin).
2. Fearful; timid.

(from Dictionary.com)

I also thought it was only the first definition, and then in my English class a few years ago, that was a vocabulary word, and the teacher used the second definition. :wacko:
