Australian question. Why does John Howard have such trouble with English? Or is it just the lawyer in him.?

I always though sorry and apologise had the same meaning and it was the words that followed that defined what you were regretting.

Update:

Meant to say thought, not though. Sorry! Or is that," I apologise"?

Update 2:

Meant to say thought, not though. Sorry! Or is that," I apologise"?

    Yeah funny that. Obviously being Prime Minister means that you can lie to the public. And you have to give him first prize for that even if he is a deplorable little man.

    Makes you wonder about his own schooling seeing that he seems to take a backward step with everything he says and how did this person become a lawyer , because maybe if he spoke in such a way no one would understand him , it seems to have worked in the last 11 years and spoken with a forked tongue at that.

    Perhaps education has advanced more than him?
