That is too generic and talks only about choice of language but not
about intentions or actions.   An apology if sincere should be specific,
direct and connected to the advice you give out to others.  Not within a
comment.   One is a position of arrogance and righteousness and the
other is humility.    It is tribalism when you talk about masturbation
and ejaculation in a free software keynote or attack a competition
distribution falsely for being proprietary or make claims about a better
security record without providing details or when you send a open invite
to employees from the competing vendors to join your company?  If you
did mistakes in the past, you start with an apology, talk about what you
learned from it and let others learn from it.
