Caras de disculpa 54

Q: Can I use these for serious apologies?

With friends, a deep bow like adds sincerity. For formal, written apologies, plain respectful language is safer than any emoticon.

When a plain 'sorry' feels dry, m(_ _)m adds a literal bow to your apology. From the light head-scratch (^_^;) to the fully-prostrated orz, pick the depth that matches the mistake.

orz is a person on hands and knees (o = head, r = arms, z = legs) — the 'no excuses' apology. For sincere moments use the unadorned deep bow <(_ _)>; for small slip-ups, a sheepish (￣▽￣;) keeps things light.

How do I read m(_ _)m?

The (_ _) is a bowed head; the two m's are hands flat on the floor — a polite Japanese bow in text form.

How should I reply to an apology?
