I've often wondered if it carries the weight we think it does over there. What if people are bowing all the time when a mistake happens? Does it seem as hollow as "I'm sorry" does in the States?
I don't feel "I'm sorry" is hollow at all. "We are sorry" seems hollow. Perhaps I don't read enough papers, but do people in power often say "I'm sorry"?
