Comparing two of the world’s largest English-speaking countries confirms there really is something British about saying sorry – at least in certain situations.

In many cases, British people's penchant for pardons only goes a little further than their American counterparts. The vast majority of British and American adults would apologise for being late or getting in someone's way. And though British culture is also well known for dry humour, taking offense at a joke is slightly more likely to earn you an apology on the British Isles than in the New World.
