Took you a while to explain how much you didn't wanna talk about it, friend

I apologise on whoever's behalf that was

OK

What's your point and why is this relevant?

I know! Didn't mean any slight

From Boris Johnson's memoirs: "I'm very sorry I made so many bad apologies. If it helps, they were all insincere." (image reposted because round 'ere we use alt text)

"But I inspected those planes myself just last Thursday lunchtime... oh cripes"

It can also be done on purpose, e.g. in SFF visuals (if you're careful not to glorify it in the writing, which I admit writers often aren't)

(with acknowledgement that there are people who physically cannot ride a bike and that's OK)

also damn, I'd better stop filling out crosswords in blue pen
