person A: I misunderstood what someone said to me at work today. I thought they said something offensive_comma_ and I reacted immediately. It turns out they said a different word. I felt mortified and kept apologizing profusely
person B: I am glad it was resolved.
person A: It was sort of resolved. Everyone still feels a little awkward. Hopefully it will get to that point where it becomes an inside joke and we can all laugh about it.
person B: I sure hope that happens.
