What in God's name are you talking about? I was stating that you were right in saying it wasn't being taught in schools. Then I clarified because it could be construed both ways and I still don't know wth you're talking about.
Hasn't anyone ever said that to you when they've been mistaken about something?
I think that may have been the original intent of the phrase in the old days, but I looked it up and according to Miss Manners, a loud "I beg your pardon!" means that someone is offended and mad. Which is the way I took it as well.
NoNoNo, not at all offended or mad. I was trying to take responsibility for the confusion! Next time I'll just say oopsie.
