Transcript:
Caulfield: How was your trip to the keys? Miss Plainwell: Frazz got his swim in. Caulfield: Mr. Spaetzle wondered if that was the reason or an excuse. What is the difference between reason and an excuse? Miss Plainwell: Usually the expression of whoever is asking for it.

An excuse is a dodge or hustle. Like how Dr. Peter Venkman views science.

A reason is simply stating why, without hoping to change the view of the listener. An excuse is asking for permission or forgiveness. Of course, the speaker will often call an excuse a reason. :o

The reason is why you really want to do something. The excuse is what you say when you are trying to hide the reason.

Must not have been a very nice trip. “How was the trip?” – “Frazz got to swim.”

According to my grampa, there are good and bad excuses and reasons. The difference is, an excuse places cause on something outside of one’s control, whereas a reason is the act of taking responsibility of what happened. For example… I was late for work because of a car accident on the interstate(excuse); I was late for work because I didn’t leave early enough to compensate for potential delays(reason). Both are good and valid explanations, they only differ in where cause lies.Happy New Year,C.
