I got an etiquette question from someone who reads my blog:
"If you've made a faux pas, should you address it or just gloss over it and pretend it didn't happen? I made a stupid joke about something and found out later that the person I made the joke to is in the group I was joking about. It happened a few weeks ago, should I address it or just leave it alone?"
As someone who is well-known among her friends for always putting her foot in her mouth, my advice is to address it. It's an extraordinary quality and strength of character to be able to admit you've made a mistake and take the steps necessary to correct it. I've said many a foolish thing in my lifetime and it's always turned out better once I've acknowledged it and apologized.
