Sorry, 10,000 Times
Sorry written out 10,000 times, pre-built and ready to copy, with counts down to 100. Two shapes are covered: the numbered lines format that the punishment framing calls for, and the plain continuous block for a message box.
Repeat it 100, 1000 or 10,000 times
100 copies — 599 characters.
Written, not sent
The phrase people type is “sorry written 10000 times”, and the word written is doing real work in it. That is the punishment-lines framing, the same sentence copied out until the page is full. It is not the same request as spamming a chat, and the two want different output. Both are covered here.
The two shapes
- Numbered lines. 1. Sorry, 2. Sorry, 3. Sorry, one per line, counting up. This is what written lines actually look like, and it is the form that reads as a task completed rather than a paste. Build the block, paste it into a spreadsheet column or a text editor with line numbering, and the numbers come with it.
- Continuous block. Sorry Sorry Sorry, one long paragraph, for the message-box use. This is what the tool above produces by default.
Counts, with a single space between copies: Sorry at 100 is 599 characters, at 1,000 it is 5,999, and at 10,000 it is 59,999. Numbering roughly doubles that, because every line carries its own index and a separator on top of the word.
What a phone does with it
A plain text message holds 160 characters. Past that, the carrier splits it into parts of 153 and the receiving phone stitches them back together. The 599-character block therefore lands as four separate texts. Add a single emoji anywhere in it and the whole message re-encodes to the two-byte alphabet, where one part holds 67 characters instead of 153, and the same wall arrives as nine or ten. If this is going to one person’s phone rather than a chat app, keep it plain.
Screen readers read every copy. So does a moderation filter: repeated text is one of the oldest spam signals there is, and a wall of it can get a message removed or an account muted before a human ever sees it.
One honest line
A wall of “sorry” is not an apology. It takes up space in someone’s notifications, and the person reading it usually hears pressure rather than remorse. If the goal is to be forgiven rather than to be noticed, one sentence naming the specific thing you did will do more than 10,000 of these. The tool is here because people ask for it, not because it repairs anything.
