The likely mistake you made that would indicate you were signing “sorry” instead of “please” is **you placed your signing hand over your stomach instead of over your heart**.
In American Sign Language (ASL), the sign for "sorry" involves placing a fist over your heart and making a circular motion, while the sign for "please" is typically made with an open hand circling over the heart. If you placed your hand over your stomach, it would lead to confusion between the two signs.
