I rarely ask sorry. My sister used to say that I'm always right. In her sweet mouth, it means that I always think that I'm right even when I'm wrong.

Almost every problem in the world, if not EVERY problem, comes from a lack of communication. Conversation and patience can solve every misunderstanding. Sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes it happens in a flash but if you keep the lines of communication open, you can solve any misunderstanding. 

I don't think you should say sorry if you don't think you are wrong just as you can't expect everyone else to say sorry to you, since they think that they are correct. There will always be differences but everything can be worked out.

I would just try to make out a joke of this situation, saying, one is learning constantly. Everybody makes mistakes – otherwise we would never learn the language.

You have picking a topic and then  giving the ideal answer

but i like to add that the reaction will depends on the nature of the person that i'm talking to.

Your answer is perfect sweet bubbly.

But think on this:

If he is my real friend, he should give me a chance to explain what I meant.

the best way for this is communication, but some people speak in a dominant manner and makes the others feel guilty even if s/he hasn't made a mistake. so what would you do in that case ?
