But - a grammatical word used in the middle of or at the beginning of a sentence to introduce something that is true in spite of being contrary to what has just been said.
Is "I'm sorry BUT..." truly an apology? I understand there are reasons behind how something transpires. Most people willing to utter the word sorry are not prone to do things on purpose, which will require an apology. If you are truly sorry, leave the BUT out of it. All it does is negate the apology. I really don't care why, just that the need to apologize is recognized and followed quickly by the action of apologizing.
