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.
