Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Not saying "sorry", and instead saying "thank you for your patience", will make me internally think "no, I wasn't feeling patient at all", and I'll think you're a condescending asshole and undermine you at every turn.
People need to learn how to apologize gracefully and keep moving.
how about “I appreciate you waiting”
It works as an implied apology, but you can also just say you're sorry and move on.
In my experience, both American colleagues, and older colleagues, tend to have a weird guilt complex that often prevents them from just saying sorry and moving on and not having it be a big deal. I think the god fearing, bible thumping, everything you do is a sin, kind of upbringing has knock on effects that lead to toxic behaviour like not being able to admit fault easily.
Imho, it shows far more confidence to be able to confidently admit fault and not be broken to pieces over it, you know that everyone makes mistakes and that you can fix yours better than most.
