How can I say "I apologize if I sound presumptuous"?


Recently I've been talking on Twitter with a few people and at some point I
wanted to say phrase that I have written in the title. I probably didn't
express myself very well because the only think I had come up with when I
replied was by using もし僭越なら...  
What I would like to know is how can I express something by saying..."if I
sound (arrogant, bossy for example). Can you perhaps help with more examples?
Thank you!




There are various expressions used between Japanese people, but if the
opponent of OP is a Japanese and he/she knows that OP is a non-native speaker
of Japanese, he/she will take everything into consideration including what you
think to "be presumptuous", so it is better that you wouldn't care about extra
things and write/say what you like without using difficult expressions like
もし僭越なら.

By the way, I'll show you what kind of expressions are used among Japanese
people.

  * 僭越ではございますが、
  * 僭越だとは思いますが、
  * 失礼にならなければ良いのですが、
  * 失礼を承知で申しますと、
  * 失礼なら申し訳ありませんが、
  * 最初に言っとくけど、気に障｛さわ｝ったらごめん（ね）。

Last but not least, even Japanese people rarely use them because they are very
difficult expressions to be used properly.
