never admit errors or mistakes, 向白人学的。哈哈, until you have exhausted other ways.

e.g.

- state correction as update (as in your instance);

- when you foresee a delay of a delivery, tell them in advance to "update" the delivery date;

-You can say 'apologize', but it should be targeted for some minor points, such as 'inconvenience', note: not a mistake;

......There are many ways, watch TV, movies to learn the "minor" deference of the words used. There are books.
