| Apr 7, 2015 at 17:54 | comment | added | ColleenV | I think you've provided some good examples, but you might want to mention that brushing off an apology with "whatever..." is very dismissive and some folks would see it as pretty negative depending on the tone of voice you used. I know you said it was an argument, but I don't think it's clear that by ending it with "whatever..." you're probably walking away still annoyed. | |
