No 'Sorries'?

What if I said sorry three times, and each of those sorries were rebuffed....

Well I'd think you were talking to a pretty unforgiving person, CB!

I didn't try this one, but I agree it should be admitted to the list. There seems to be fairly wide usage of this word out on the internet.

I tried it too - was surprised it was rejected.

The Shorter Oxford says sorry can be used as a noun meaning "An utterance of 'sorry' in apology etc." This usage is labeled rare, and examples of the word sorries in books do seem to be infrequent.

Still, I think the usage is well-enough established that we ought to accept sorries in future, cb.
